Still remember Jack Welch bragging on Bloomberg about how he went to India and found out they speak English. And btw,they will work for cents on the dollar per hour.

That was the game changer. Same for those jobs that went to Singapore . Forgot to mention,the Senate Tax Writers gave the Corporations maga Tax incentives to move their jobs off shore. Golly Gee whiz how we forget the real truth.

In the early part of the 20th century we had sharecroppers leaving the south for better life/economic family circumstances.

In coal country, we had the company store.

Democratic capitalism has skewed laws in favor of business. Business dollars have bought our elected officials at any level. Encouraging union busting, skewing income taxes, and suppressing minimum wages. Privatization of a government function actually costs more and encourages exporting of local dollars out of town, state, and country.

I'm for a change to democratic socialism. Stack the deck in favor of us, the citizens.
