Lou Dobbs Book: Exporting America : Why Corporate Greed Is Shipping Americ
Looks like an interesting read - and another good book to be out there to remind everyone what the * administration and his corporate backers are doing to America.

And while Lou is not a Dem - for the most part I think he's running one of the better news shows on CNN.

World-renowned business journalist and anchor of CNN's popular Lou Dobbs Tonight, Lou Dobbs dares to expose the most explosive economic issue of our time-the shipment of American jobs to cheap foreign labor markets.

With the pay of corporate CEOs at historical highs and American job creation at the lowest level since the Depression, corporations are laying off Americans-blue-collar factory workers and white-collar professionals alike-purely to cut costs. Thousands of quality jobs are lost every month, jobs that will be performed by people in China, India, Eastern Europe, and elsewhere at a fraction of what American workers earn.

For covering this devastating, unprecedented trend, Lou Dobbs has come under attack by both Democrats and Republicans. He has refused to be intimidated, and now, in EXPORTING AMERICA, he tells the full story, naming names, providing the shocking statistics, and exploding the economic myths that say this national epidemic is "good" for us. Most important, he reveals how Corporate America isn't doing all this on its own. Big Business and Washington are working together, trading our nation's livelihood for short-term gains while they undermine our very way of life.

A stirring call to arms, EXPORTING AMERICA tells us what we can do to save not only our jobs and our economy, but the American Dream itself.

2. Corporate Proto-Pop
If you ever get a chance check out an old CD produced by the band Cop Shoot Cop which includes a :56 pseudo commercial entitled "Corporate Proto-Pop." It says it all about the true enemy of us all, Corporate America!

"greed, is what we demand, and let's face it, it's what this country is based upon"
