As Bush makes his way to the Americas Summit to discuss free trade, many people are of the opinion that his idea of free trade "will allow corporations to dominate the poor" ... this must be the focal point of this summit. The purpose of the summit is to discuss ways to increase employment and create jobs from Alaska to Argentina.
But, I want to remind readers that more jobs have been lost during the Bush administration and he has failed at the creation of new jobs. Under his watch, more American jobs have been shipped overseas ... this is what happens when you have corporations setting the agenda in Washington, D.C. According to the AP: "Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez and top Cuban government officials -- say Bush is bent on opening up Latin America even more to corporations that will end up enslaving already poor workers."
In America the evidence is clear that these corporations have enslaved us all. One only has to look to Wal-Mart where workers are paid wages that barely put food on the table and keep a roof over their heads. These workers are not even allowed to discuss the creation of unions and, if they do, they're fired.
Evidence of this practice is seen through the testimony of a former employee who worked for Wal-Mart for seventeen years: Confessions of a Wal-Mart Hit Man: According to his testimony some who work for this company are on welfare. I would like to know where the United States government is when it comes to the plight of these employees and Wal-Mart’s indecent anti-worker practices? But before Bush goes lecturing anyone ... especially President Hugo Chavez ... on how to address this problem, he (Bush) must address abject poverty in the United States first.
