I'd really like to see the Free Trader response to this, as it seems difficult to find a country to 'outsource' the job of creating a stable environment for the 'global economy' our captains of industry always speak of.
Problem is these guys got a taste of hard cash on the top end and lost all sense of reality while they ditched their ethics in the endless search for more money. Their judgement has been impared by green. They have no real thought for their fellow citizens save for how they can use them to get more green. And everyone apparently owes it to them to make sure they get it.
Piece of cake, apparently.
Though Mr. Medved (today's second hour of his show) and his guest did not address the need for working class blood to defend them and their enterprises, they did make it clear that there was little desire for working class sweat to work for them. We Americans are just too stupid, lazy, temperamental, entitlement-crazy, and too expensive.
(Didn't Michael Moore say essentially the same about us Americans while he was in Europe?)
Outsourcing: It's us dummies' fault, not the poor corporate executives' fault.
We are poorly educated, to a man and woman, too stupid and lazy to augment our public educations and do well in college. We empower liberals in exchange for entitlements. We sue employers a lot.
What's a poor executive to do?
So asks Michael Medved and his guest promoting a book about bringing jobs back to America, "Bringing the Jobs Home."
What's a poor executive to do?
Over there are ten foot tall, brilliant workers. Here are the scum of the earth, us American workers, though both men allowed that it is not entirely our fault that we are such undesirables.
If the burden on the poor, suffering executives is to be lifted it's entirely up to us, the American workers. We Americans of the working class must stop proudly wearing a sign saying, "We are very expensive and we don't know very much. We will sue you, Mr. employer, if you 'look crossed-eyed at us.'" (Almost an exact quoted of Mr. Medved and his guest, BTW.)
Bringing the jobs (key word jobs) home. You see, the author Mr. Todd Buckholtz (sp) complained about the numbers of brilliant, outstanding foreign scholars being graduated from our universities and how utterly stupid and bad for America it is to send them home. Let them work here, he demands. Bring the jobs home, indeed.
And what about jobs for Americans? "Take two generations to get your act together and call us in 2040," I suppose is what Mr. Medved and guest would say.
