Will someone tell Bush* and big business that foreign outsourcing is bad?
* corporations don't pay US taxes on their locations in foreign countries, depriving of the government which needs as revenue?

* workers in foreign countries can be grossly exploited

* The more jobs lost in the US to foreign countries means the US economy will not recover. Especially when 75% of our economy depends on we, the consumers, to buy the corporate products. Ultimately, the "savings" to corporations will be utterly worthless and I pray these corporate entities fall on their faces, bankrupt as well. Yes, I do pray. They don't give a fuck about US citizens or even the country that allows them to be so ruthless and unchecked, may their downfall be dismal indeed.

* Since laborers who work for US companies in foreign countries aren't taxed, the government gets lesser amounts of income.

* If the pukes still talk about out-of-control budgets (seemed all right until 2000, and this 'war on terror' has been TREATED more like a joke - so why should it being used as an excuse get any merit WHATSOEVER?!), then the pukes should shut the fuck up and ELMINATE ALL FORMS OF CORPORATE SUBSIDY. PERIOD! The big corporations don't need a fucking cent of the money; surely their CEOs can do their bit for America and take a measly pay cut while keeping their employee payroll 100% intact?

God, $455 billion deficit this year and that BLISTERING IDIOT FUCKHEAD* STILL HANDS OUT BIG TAX CUTS - AND TO THE WEALTHY NO LESS! http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2003/07/15/politics/main563282.shtml

And the fuckhead* overturned a 1994 law that Bill Clinton signed in order to stop practices made by daddy bush which unfairly promoted hand-picked appointees. http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2003/07/11/politics/main562857.shtml

It's no wonder the United States is hated so much! It's no wonder the World Trade Center has been a target numerous times for terrorist attack as it represents the PURE EVIL the United States commits and is not just left unchecked but aided and abetted by the repuklickin' party!!!

:argh:

How much more America is going to tolerate this uncontrollable situation is something even the stars don't know. But it sure as hell can't be forever.

The question is, will America fix its problems before it disintegrates in on itself?

And is America worth even saving, given the reputation we now have? It's sad that some are so angry or cynical they even think the thought that the US is not saving.

And Reagan started it all, but in such a way that people did not know at the time they were being treated like shit.

People should know better by now.

2. Then somebody tell Dean, Kerry, Graham, and Lieberman too
The only candidates that are on record about this are Gephardt and Kucinich and Moseley-Braun.

3. Gephardt?!
He's becoming more of a mixed-bag...

Lieberman, no shock there. Graham, didn't know he was running.

Dean?!?!?!?!?!?! He damn well better think logically. Hell, if I can then anyone can!

Kerry? He's more of a Clinton clone (a 'moderate' in advertisement but a possible sell-out in real life), though I doubt Kerry's pickle is as fickle so the pukes will have to find something else to bait him with.

Glad to know Kucinich knows the score. I like him the best. My opinion of Dean has gone down a bit now, but Gepheardt... mixed bag indeed.

Um, Gephardt feels the same on the issue as Kucinich, right?
