Corporations exist to produce profits for its shareholders. They do not exist to provide a comfortable salary to their employees. They pay their employees the least amount they can pay to get the productivity and quality they require in their products. If your jobs are being sent to third world countries, it is because the workers there are now in the market evaluation of the corporation and their productivity/quality cost has surpassed your own. You are not competing with 37 cents per hour, you are competing against the aggregate cost of paying the labor, increased shipping costs, tarriffs, etc.

If you want the jobs, increase your productivity or reduce your pay. The corporations are doing what they are supposed to do.

Yet their employees, who are citizens of this country, are called upon to defend corporate assets with our Navy, Coast Guard and other military, and even give up their lives defending these corporations and their property who say they owe nothing to anyone except their shareholders. Such a deal, don't you think?

People don't exist to enrich businessmen. It is a two way street. But you come from the mindset that seems to believe that people owe you a living and owe themselves an uphill climb to get you there while they retreat ever lower each year to keep you going higher. That is the mindset of the corporation today. Filling people with psychobabble and hollow promises never intended to be kept in order to greese the wheels of the machinery and keep it going - never disaffecting people with the truth.. only with burnout as they discover the truth for themselves over time. That is why "corporation" is a curse word in america. And that's why nobody who's worked for one, by and large, wants anything to do with another when they leave one. It's a scam. But, do entertain us with more of your one sided story.
