I'm not talking about the Chinese. I'm talking about me and thee. Greed begins at home. Destructive greed, greed for greed's sake, the pursuit of profit at all costs, even at the expense of one's brother or mother and the country one lives in, destroys everyone it touches as surely as any threat of socialism or communism.
Do you think its reasonable a UAW floor sweeper makes about $30/hour plus benefits - is that the way to keep jobs in America ??
Like I said, less greed all around would be a step in the right direction.
Maybe we should nationalize American industry, and the government can pass out workfare jobs the same way they do now in the public sector. I'm not being glib, some have offered that alternative as a workable alternative.
Again the false dilemma, raising the bogeyman of "government interference", the bugbear of globalist apologists everywhere. Well, of course, under other alternatives, there is no need for it. Try a little less greed. You'd be surprised how it helps cure what ails the sick soul.
That's noble, but who gets to make that decision? Who should make that decision? One man's greed is another man's betterment. While I agree with your statement, Adam Smith already addressed its short sightedness when he wrote of the invisible hand in the market place.
