I'm no "Chicago School" trained economist...
- But, I think that the best way to make American business strong, is to support American labor.

So, it makes no sense to send those jobs oversees, right?


- People who need to spend money will spend it more than people who have too much and have chosen to hoard it.

How does tax breaks for the rich work again?


- The trend to allow corporations to become more monopolistic only hurt them, by making them less competitive.

Workers are suffering and not buying things to help out the economy... So the bigger they are, the harder they fall, right?


- I think it's time to get back to people, instead of the corporations... They wouldn't be anywhere WITHOUT people anyway.

Too bad that they've never figured that out.

1. The corps are players in the world economy.
Screw Americans. They can get the Indians, Indonesians and Chinese to build things for each other and really don't need us in the loop. America is just a falling-down house that they're in the process of looting. They already sold everything loose, down to all the scrap metal in the country, they're now foreclosing mortgages, and about all that's left to loot is various retirement and social insurance funds, starting with the Big One--SS. As soon as they've gotten that, they're outta here.

2. Bingo
The term "American" corporation is a misnomer.

3. American Unions built this country
fuck anyone that doesn't support that idea of supporting unions. Union's BUILT THIS COUNTRY. The biggest current talking point right now is the teacher's union. Who needs them ? Let's just privatize the schools like we wanted to privatize SS. If you don't agree , you are so anti-American and we will show you why. We have all kinds of statistics that prove unions don't work. In fact it is the total opposite and I hope people wake up. Unions are great again They Built This Country. Unions are for PEOPLE not corporations and business men.

Then walk away.
