Reply #42: Think about this...if corporations are only interested in profits

[ikojo]

then in the minds of their CEOs and shareholders it doesn't really matter if the US falls into third world status.

There are a BILLION people in India. There are TWO BILLION people in China. Corporate America and the US government are doing all they can to encourage both countries to take a more consumer and capitalist oriented life. They want both countries to adopt the American way of living.

Imagine if that happens. If only ten percent of both countries adopt the American way of life (cars, homes, TVs, computers et.al) then that is 300 MILLION consumers, that is far more than what exists in the US.

Just for greeds sake it makes more sense for US corporations to create a vast Indian and Chinese middle class.
