Well, every day is a struggle for self-improvement. I don't ever want to be satisfied with who I am. I want to keep getting better every day.

You've given me a reminder of that, and I appreciate that.

Is the U.S. Government Sending Jobs Overseas?

America has been hi-jacked by a group of evil criminal thugs with a sinister global agenda. They don't care about America or it's citizens, they only care about power and wealth! They have sold out America by allowing manufacturing jobs to leave to Mexico, China and all around the world. Washington leaders have been lobbied (paid-off through lawyers) to look the other way. The newsmedia (which is owned by the big corporations) has been lying to us for decades.

Pat Buchanan's Speech on Free Trade Given to C.F.R
by PATRICK J. BUCHANAN

Address to the Chicago Council on Foreign Relations

November 18, 1998
To [the] new corporate elite, putting America first betrays a lack of loyalty to the company. Some among our political elite share this view. Here is Strobe Talbott, Clinton's roommate at Oxford and architect of his Russian policy: "All countries," said Talbott in 1991, "are basically social arrangements...No matter how permanent and even sacred they may seem at any one time, in fact they are all artificial and temporary...within the next hundred years...nationhood as we know it will be obsolete; all states will recognize a single, global authority".... This is the transnational elite, our new Masters of the Universe.

Government destroys jobs; the market creates jobs

Q: With regards to jobs, how are you going to turn this country around?
PAUL: Government destroys jobs; the market creates jobs. So the government isn't going to be expected to create the jobs; they have to change the environment. But you can't do that unless you understand where the depression, recessions come from, and you can't understand that unless you know where the bubbles come from. I've been arguing this case for 20 years and warning about bubbles and housing bubbles and NASDAQ bubbles. And a lot of other economists have been doing the same thing. Until we understand that, you can't solve the problem. You have to deal with the Federal Reserve system. You have to deal with free markets. And you have to deal with the tax program and the regulatory system. Then you can get your jobs, because the people will create the jobs, not the government.

Can someone tell me why Americans are more deserving of jobs than Chinese or Indians?

Brings a tear to my eye that my great United States is falling. I agree with some of the above posts - It's the idiots shipping jobs to Mexico, India and China.
I hope we get out of this debt and economic downturn.

You have my signature

I think it's more a case of jobs being taken out of the country at a time of unemployment. Surely the government should look to the interests of its own people first? No one's saying Indian or Chinese people don't deserve jobs.

Well, not everyone agrees that trying to force the jobs to stay in the country actually serves the benefit of the people. As in, the whole of the people, not just the few whose jobs are on the line.

They're not idiots, they're simply following the ideology of capitalism - "maximizing shareholder value" - and doing exactly what economic theory presumes they will do.

this is crony corporate capitalism. America's founding fathers sought to protect against this with tariffs and public licenses to corporations. Back then we were a nation of shop keepers where many owned their owned business and controlled their own destiny. Now we are a nation of Wal-Marts beholden to those far far away on Wall Street...

There is much crony capitalism going on in the USA, but outsourcing isn't it. It's free trade.

I am not saying that only American Workers deserve Jobs but American Corporations founded in America by Americans should not be outsourcing Jobs to other Nations I would say the samething for Japanese Workers.

Japanese Corporations should not be outsourcing the Jobs of Japanese Workers either.

Comparative advantage.

Look. It. Up.

This kind of fetishism towards jobs as some ultimate good and an end in itself is quite absurd.

Well I can not defend the greed of Corporate America and their desire for slave labor and to put profits before the common good.


Greed, Greed and More Greed

by Rep. Bernie Sanders

Sanders Scoop newsletter, Summer 2002

There is a cancer eating away at the heart of corporate America and its name is "greed." It is becoming increasingly apparent that many large corporations will do anything, legal or otherwise, to fatten the already huge compensation packages of their CEOs. As we have seen in recent years these corporations lie about their financial statements, cheat or move abroad to avoid paying their fair share of taxes, cut the pensions and health benefits of their employees and throw loyal workers out on the street as they move their plants to China. At the same time many of them line up for billions in corporate welfare from the federal government.

Let's be clear. We're not just talking about a "few bad apples" such as Worldcom, Enron, Xerox, Adelphia, Tyco, Global Crossing, and Arthur Anderson. According to a recent study by the Huron Consulting Group, over the past five years nearly 1,000 companies were forced to correct their financial statements.

The "greed culture" in corporate America today is now out of control. Some examples: Lou Gerstner, former CEO of IBM, received $366 million over the last five years and an extremely generous pension plan, while cutting back on the retirement and health care benefits of his employees. C.A. Heimbold, Jr., former Chairman and CEO of BristolMyers Squibb Co. received compensation of $74,890,918 in 2001 and has stock options worth $76,095,611, while senior citizens are suffering and dying because they can't afford the outrageously high prices for the prescription drugs that his company sells. GE, which has laid off tens of thousands of American workers as they move jobs abroad, provided their three top executives with $550 million in salary, stock options and executive benefits in 2000. Jack Welch, former GE CEO, receives a pension of almost $10 million annually for the rest of his life.

At Worldcom, bankrupt and under investigation for manipulating their
financial statements, CEO Bemard Ebbers received personal loans from the company
for $408 million that has not yet been paid back. At Enron, also bankrupt and
under investigation, CEO Lou Pai cashed in $353 million in stock options. And on
and on it goes.

Let's be clear, however. It's not only the illegal behavior of multinational
corporations that Americans are outraged at. It's the legal but immoral behavior
of corporate America as well. In the United States today, CEOs of major
corporations make over 500 times what their employee earn, a gap that has
increased dramatically in recent years and is far higher than in any other
country.
