Thom Hartmann: Corporate CEO's...job makers or job movers?
I caught Sherrod Brown talking economic sense for the United States the other day and the need to restore our manufacturing base and do something about putting Americans back to work. Here's Thom Hartmann on Russia Today addressing the real problem with our economy as well -- the jobs crisis.
From Thom's You Tube Channel:
So raise the damn debt-ceiling - and get on with addressing the real crisis in America - the crisis created by our insane so-called Free Trade policies and treaties, and greedy corporate CEOs with too much power.
Amen brother. It would be nice to see the politicians having their phone lines burnt up over this issue as well instead of just for calls for all of them to compromise with GOP hostage takers on the debt ceiling.
Without a consumer class they won't even be job movers.

What did Mr. Immelt have to say about moving jobs beyond just moving them? Here's what Bernie Sanders had to say:
Corruption favors the wealthy.
to convince Obama to change his mind and work for you. Or at least you're not working as hard as those, with large amounts of disposable capital, are laboring in order to get him to pay attention to them.
Apparently in Democracy 2.0 people have to work for politicians, not the other way around. A common misconception from more archaic forms of popular representation.

It's all about the $$$$$.
doing business in the U.S. is a bad deal. It's way past time to look at the reasons why doing business in other parts of the world is a better deal and then making the adjustments that are necessary to compete.
They just need to put the regulations back in place. Capitalism blows up in our faces without regulation. I say lets go back to what works!

a dollar a day and work in the poorest conditions possible. That should do it.
in the world can be considered a "bad deal" exactly?

They are not the same thing. Higher productivity right now is fewer people doing more work for less pay, while CEOs suck up the pofits.
Obviously doing business in the U.S. is a bad deal.
If it's such a bad deal.....
Then I say I say kick all the Kochsuckering corporations out! FUCK'EM!!!
We don't need them....period.
Let'em peddle all their cheap-plastic-bullshit elsewhere.
If they don't need us we don't need them- tit for tat.
Let real people replace them.
There are plenty of hard working industrious people who'd fill the vacuum real quick!
16Billion USD
Thats 16,000 x $1,000,000
The USG would have been better of to have a contest type thing.
The 16,000 best ideas get $1,000,000 to start up the idea.
We don't need these fucking traitotous corporations.
The financial industry was bailed out with trillions
each trillion USD is
$1 million USD x $1 million USD
That money could have gone a long way helping REAL people to start REAL businesses.

I've been saying this since the late 80s. Who is going to buy all their crap when they've exported the last good job out of the U.S. ? And how safe is it going to be when 60 or 70 percent of the population is a permanent underclass? Maybe we can be like Panama and other south of the border countries where it isn't even safe to go into the cities anymore.
Corporate CEOs are definitely job movers. Too bad they can't move themselves to pay their taxes.
When China discovers they can manufacture the goods that they sell to the rest of the world WITHOUT the enormous overhead created by American CEOs?
Just like some are doing now.
