Reply #24: Is it so much easier to feel powerless?

[bluestate10]

Having an ingrained sense of powerlessness removes the responsibility of action from oneself. Big business need workers more than workers need big business. Start buying every product that can be bought from companies that ONLY manufacture on the mainland USA. Start buying clothing, lots is available, then add household products. Big business won't be able to sell the products gathering dust in their warehouses to Chinese, Indian, Pakistani, et al, workers that they pay little more than slave wages to. Concerned that choking big business will hurt the american worker? How short sighted, those companies that have shown consideration for american workers will grow as big business shrinks and hire displaced workers at fair wages and benefits.

But. it is easier to feel powerless and to worship Julian Assange and Ralph Nader.
