Max Baucus is telling you why you should think that capitalism
Edited on Fri Jun-24-05 12:02 PM by Skidmore
is wonderful now. He's talking about the wonderfully educated Chinese workforce, who ar willing to work for $1.00/hr., and who remain on their jobs at a high retention rate. Points out that we know what side won the Cold War. Pointed out the higher wages of the US worker, but not the higher cost of living here or the way corps game prices. He's trying to convince people that corps selling out overseas are their fault and that it is a good thing we should embrace. It's the reality now. Is Max one of the corporate Dems.

3. Sorry dickhead, I can't pay my rent on $1/hour
I don't know anyone who can. Try coming back with a real solution later.

4. er - so folks should want to take lower paying jobs
to please the corps - that there is no benefit to the corps for having their jobs here (like having CONSUMERS who can afford their goods)? Oh my.

6. I people have to live in poverty in order to have a job
That defeats the entire purpose of having a job!
