The world economy...blah - blah - blah...

[kentuck]

This phrase is repeated so many times that no one questions it anymore. We are living in a world economy. We have to ship all our good jobs overseas. What jobs are left, we will need to compete with the lowest paid workers in the world. Not only that, our military will protect these markets and our politicians will see to it that anyone that wants to move jobs overseas will get generous tax breaks. That's just the way it is. That is the new "world economy". Even the President says so...

1. Once upon a time we were a strong economy that could and did

help other nations in crisis. Now we send our jobs and corporations over there to enslave the workers of those same nations and no one is better off.

2. Support Communism. Insist on the "Made In China" label on everything you buy. nt

4. I never thought about it that way...we are supporting communism

by buying all those Chinese goods....would that be a good comeback to the rethugs? How could we use that?

5. re: China

The Chinese are moving toward a more free market now, it's a mixed model.

6. China is creating more millionaires right now

than all of the western industrialized countries combined.
And India now has 2 of the richest individuals in the world amongst top 5 richest.
How the world has changed!

7. I'm really surpirse the Tea Party and the whole right wing is not also objecting to this.

I thought they were so anti-communist. If so, let them prove it by "not buying commie products".

3. Shipping manufactured goods halfway around the world is INSANITY.

It is what happens when everything is reduced to money and "efficiency". The natural ecosystem and the ecosystem that is human society be damned!
