5. YOU need the reality check

 

All the FOX news apologist drivel you spout does not change the fact that the rich are padding their bank accounts by lowering that awesome standard of living. First they moved jobs to Mexico, and because they still wanted to cut wages they moved the jobs to China, and now they are moving them to Vietnam. Next they will be moving them to Africa.

The problem lies squarely on the rich, and how they game the system to get more for themselves and less for everyone else. Capital, and the rich who seem to think it is theirs alone, shouldn't be free to flit from place to place looking for a more miserable worker to exploit and a new places to pollute. It needs to be regulated, highly so, to produce goods cleanly, and to distribute those goods in a manner different than a Texas Hold'em tournament.

When it's all said and done, the rich need to come up to the awareness of Henry Ford. He knew that by PAYING his workers, his workers could actually afford what they were making. I would have to conclude that in this regard, the rich are not even as smart as yeast. At least when yeast detect that they are poisoning their environment, they will sporulate and go dormant. Or have the Koch Brothers set up a think tank to research ways they can hibernate until they get released into a new environment they can plunder?
