And his latest book is published by CounterPunch?
PCR is off his meds again.
The profits of American companies are derived from the cheap labor in offshored locations and are at the expense of the (lazy, over-paid, unionized) American work force.
He drank the leftist koolaid.
He’s a moonbat with a resume.
Another idiot who would like americans to be less productive by keeping disfunctional manufacturing jobs here in the states just so corporations could “employ” people. It’s Americans who have to stop clamoring for labor intensive jobs that we can no longer afford to do here and retrain themselves for more techical employment..
“More technical employment” walks right out the door with the first contract to India.
There is no silver bullet to what has become a national security issue. I would vote for returning government funding to the old tariff-based system as much as possible.
So it appears that another whack-job lib is decrying free markets. I bet he also wonders why no one buys his newspaper any more!
This moonbat wants to erect artificial barriers - determined by armies of bureaucrats - as a defense against other industrious people around the globe. So as to try to re-establish the temporary dominance that Americans briefly enjoyed after WWII. We need more and freer trade, not less of it. Does this jerk actually think that billions of other people were going to be satisfied remaining peasants forever?
That is exactly right. I have this argument with my Uncle. I remind him that we are guaranteed the “pursuit of happiness (wages through employment, profit through investment)”, not guaranteed employment, with ever increasing wages because we learned to put the left rear fender on an Edsel in 1960.
The 20th century found big tyrannical government in all it's forms of “-isms” produced over 260 million deaths all in the name of the allusive ‘perfect Soviet man’ ......
Vigilance, it is the best protection of our freedoms, a silent majority no more.
“If a nation expects to be ignorant and free in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be.” Thomas Jefferson
The socialist solution fetish: The solution to rich corporations with power, (corporations that have to make consumers happy and answer to their shareholders) , is to make even more powerful a government that grabs the loot and answers to nobody.
Isn't that pretty much a given with any sort of employment? Asking the government to step in causes more problems than it solves. And tariffs simply save some jobs at the cost of others.
If I had to guess, I’d say Mr. Roberts attends a church that heavily preaches The Social Gospel.
Wrong, IT is making a huge comeback here. There are various reasons, but the main one is that Americans have been at it longer and are more competent. Even customer handling is slowly coming back here as corporations have realized that an indian accent at the other end of the phone costs them customers.
I wonder if this idiot has ever heard of the Community Reinvestment Act.
I thought he made excellent points then he spews this buffoonery. Mental issues?
IT has to be done right for overseas development and administration to work well, but General Electric has got that problem licked six ways from Sunday. Ask for an IT job at GE and they will laugh at you.
