You can even lose your private property when job loss prevents you from paying property taxes --- the government will just take it away from you. That is not a lack of legal protection for private property.

now that we know your "witty retort" button works, how about an answer?

The jobs belong to the employers .. not the voters!The votes belong to the voters, however. And they aren't going to vote for politicians that don't think the availablility of good jobs is important.

WHY does Mexico have no middle class? Are they TOO capitalistic, or not enough?
The middle class is a capitalist phenomenon. Feudalism is a response to anarchy.
To: MacDorcha
Our government is forcing you and I to feed the people. Plus give them free eduation and free health care. I'd rather have them all working and providing all that for themselves. We've got welfare rates approaching 40% in this region --- plus close to double digit unemployment. I can look over the border and see where this is going to lead us.

i dont WANT our goverment to feed the lazy. geesh, why are you attacking me? do you not understand? or are you trying to make commy propaganda not sound like commy propaganda?
To: MacDorcha
No, I don't think so. Honestly, I don't think you understand economics enough to even carry on a conversation about it. You're just angry and incoherent, and that is a waste of time. Sorry.
To: Taliesan
Mexico has some very wealthy Capitalists. That's not it's problem --- it doesn't have Capitalism by the many --- the USA had Capitalism of the majority --- but the way most of us can be Capitalists is by working --- even the Jerry Springer audience types can be Capitalists if they have a job.

I am in the process of doing the same thing. I want to do that , refinish antiques, build antique reproductions, repair furniture. Are you doing any advertising at all? I am currently building custom kitchen cabinet doors for a friend.If you make a quality product your work will do most of the advertising, ie word of mouth. One of the drawbacks of mass produced everything is blandness and lower quality.
There are people out there who would rather spend more on a quality well made piece than save a few pennies on something that won't last or hold it's value.

The jobs belong to the employers .. not to you! Really? So before the employer finds someone willing to work how exactly this job exists? Employer provides the capital, employees provide the labor. Both sides are needed.
Second - whatever employer owns is defined by the laws/state. The private property is a legal construct sustained by the rest of society, same way as a corporation is a construct. Destroy the society - you will lose the constructs.

You didn't understand the question.
To: MacDorcha
But we are feeding them --- the same government that promotes outsourcing of jobs confiscates your money to provide equal health care and standards of living for those who aren't working anymore.
Plus is we don't feed them --- then we'll look like Mexico --- where there are beggars on every corner --- street children galore. I'd just rather everyone have jobs and take care of themselves.

I was being sarcastic,but I was telling the truth about the dems talking a good game.I thought I was listening to a combination of a union rally and Huey Long listening to Kerry last night.
Yes,my "sounds like a winner" was sarcastic because I don't believe him.His domestic policies could only be paid for by drastically cutting military spending.He is a socialist and an internationalist.He betrayed and lied about his own brothers in arms.I am sure he will have no problem selling out America.

this coming from someone who thinks that we cant reach stability by providing better income? i didnt say the governement was the one to do so, but the companies could if they liked their tax-free basis in the USA. you act as if "supply and demand" was one of the lesser principles of economics. if not, then you act as if it only applies to products, and not services.
To: Taliesan
Oh well --- I have to go off to work now --- someone's got to pay the taxes.

If you do not have the particular set of job skills that an employer needs, of if you have priced your labor out of the marketplace, guess what? It's not the employer's fault. The fault lies with you. Either develop a new set of job skills that are actually in demand, or adjust your pricing. An industrial worker in communist China makes 30 or 40 cents an hour, the slave laborer make 0 cents an hour, a PhD in India makes maybe 20 grand a year.
You tell me how an American industrial worker or white collar hi-tech worker can compete against those wages.
HOW???????
This country was not set up just to benefit CEO's and multi-national corps while the rest of us live in cardboard boxes under the nearest bridge!
Our government is charged with "promoting the general welfare" of the American people.
I believe that US corps should have the right to hire whom they like but the government has the obligation to promote the general welfare of ALL the people so these companies that outsource or move operations offshore should lose any tax breaks they had been given in the past and be forbidden to do any work of any kind for the US and any state government.
Plus their product should have an extra tax put on it as well because of the economic damage that these companies do to America.
Like another poster said, if the Republicans think they are going to win elections by telling formerly middle-class, formerly productive taxpayers, formerly base Republican voters, that this destructive off-shoring - outsourcing process is GOOD FOR THEM and their now bankrupt families, the Republicans WILL be voted out of office and the Rat party will again gain an iron grip over this country once again.
You Republicans NEVER LEARN do you?
I hope those 6 thousand dollar shower curtains and 2 million dollar birthday parties that you Republican free traitors are fighting for seem worth it to you after the next 8 years of demoRat rule over this country!
