(62,325 posts)I think this was the plan, to depress wages across the globe, same thing in Europe, and to turn First World countries into sources of cheaper labor, without Unions like third world countries.
These policies are truly turning back the clock to the dark ages when there was only the rich and the poor. America's creation of a middle class was a huge threat to Big Business. Labor laws, livable wages etc.
We are watching the demise of the Middle Class and I do not think it is by accident. Who is going to fight against all of this? I think some on the Democratic side think they are helping the poor in other countries, hoping that wages will rise slightly in Third World nations but go down here, equalizing wages across the globe. Third Way Dems I mean.
It seems to be a new philosophy they have not been open about.
