You also nailed it about why these companies are doing such things. In a word....profit. Overseas 'investments' and operations is why Wall Street is doing well while the rest of the country is going downhill. There is no morality or even common sense to it. It's all greed. Of course, they have made many of us complicit in this by offering IRAs instead of just giving us a better wage. That way, we have a vested interest in their profits. It stunts any real protest against these practices and has made us partners in our own demise. And we have our government to thank for allowing these things to happen in the name of 'free trade' and for us to become 'competitive' in the global economy. And it's not just our government. The whole world had become entangled in this mess. I think it's about time we woke up to this global scam that is being put over on us.
Some may think I'm radical...I'm not....just Pi$ off!! |
I did not know this, or had not considered the IRA angle. Profit and greed, yes. In addition to shortsightedness.
You write such interesting things...not radical.
You should start your own thread and inform us about things...you obviously know so much!
Thank you for sharing.
