Industies ARE effective in this country, it is the fact that HUMAN GREED made the company CEO's move to a slave labor run country that makes American Companies no longer able to compete, and you call it rain on my back?? Oh please, if I want to listen to that kind of drivel I'll call upon Ralph Nader.
Corporations exist for one reason and one reason only, to maximize shareholder value, simple as that. If you want the state to manage how corporations are run perhaps you can find yourself a country that is more socialist to your liking.

"Corporations exist for one reason and one reason only, to maximize shareholder value" Absolutely correct, which is why, prior to globalism the US had antitrust laws, child labor laws, minimum wage laws etc to "house break" corporate greed. However in a global capitalist society there is no equivalent of the US federal government and therefore no counter weight to humanize capitalism.
An unrestrained capitalist is as cruel a master as any communist that ever lived.

You need to understand the social contract between the governed and the government. The government exists solely to secure the security and welfare of the governed. Should the government fail govern in the best interests of all it's citizens for the benefit of a few capitalists then the government will be overthrow and a new government installed. It is really that simple, continue to send all our jobs overseas, and send the nations ability to create and fairly distribute wealth overseas and yall will be hanging from trees.
