What? You think these big old corporations have any allegiance left for America or it's people? I hope you are not that naive.
Do unions suck? Yup. But so do places like Wal-mart that sell mostly Communist Chinese products, while illegal aliens work in their stores.
Have not the events regarding the mass outsourcing of our jobs rang your bell? Have you looked at the devastation this so called free trade has done?
Ever stood on the dock of a major port and watch thousands of empty containers being loaded onto cargo ships, while other vessels headed this way, are backed up from her to Hawaii loaded with full containers of Communist Chinese products?
Go have a look, it's a real eye opener. If that don't ring your bell, nothing will.....
That socialist mindset that is inflicted on us by the media has gotten under your skin.
Corporations ARE the American people. There is no such thing as "corporate power" that is different from the power of the people. And there are no profits of corporations that do not benefit real people.
So, if you want to discuss patriotism --- fine. But deal with people, not the faceless "corporations," a boogeyman thrown at you by the media.
As for the problems -- I see them. The question is who is responsible and what to do about that. It is not the corporate managers --- they are hired labor just like the janitors (only more talented and therefore better paid). It is not the government: we are responsible for making ourselved marketable.
And, frankly, there is no big problem so far: our unemployment is at 6.1% considered close to minimal possible until recently.
