Profit is the motive for companies...at least in THIS country.
PROFIT.
The SWISS hire their own people and will pay the Swiss prices, when they could drive 20 minutes over the line to France and get EVERYTHING cheaper.
Americans don't support U.S. industries. Just look at all the Japanese and German cars Americans drive.
I don't think Americans always buy American electronics either. It SEEMS that we buy almost everything with "Made in China." on it.
Is this news to you? I don't think so. U.S. companies are in it for profit. Why else? That's not news to you either, whether we like it or not.
California farmers used to hire Mexican braceros every summer to pick the fruit, vegetables and cotton that California grew. Americans wouldn't pick cotton, fruit or vegetables unless they got minimum wages, social security and benefits. So, the farmers hired "seasonals." Been going on for a l-o-n-g time.
The alternative is socialism...Obama's way, the nanny state.
Btw, you probably noticed, that state is a complete total failure run by crazy people. No? It's certainly not something you should be using as a benchmark or model.☺
Don't be naive. Some do, and I can assure you all these corrupt professional politicians certain do! Don't believe me, just look at these punitive dangerous policies.
Aha...you are overlooking the difference between Swiss hiring and American hiring. Swiss will always hire Swiss first, even if they require higher wages. So, the Swiss worker can afford to buy at Swiss prices.
In United States, there is national loyalty in corporations. They always put profit before patriotism, as you correctly point out. Therefore American workers are forced to shop at Walmart prices. If American workers were paid American wages, most can and will buy American made products. I would rather make $60/hour and buy $100 sneakers made in America than work on 2 part jobs at $15/hour and buy $19.95 sneakers at Walmart.
Who are you voting for, this Nov., cloudmountain?
I think you are wrong here. Do not blame American workers. Blame the cheap labor express for LOWERING American wages and standards of living. That is why Americans are forced to buy cheap Chinese goods at Walmart.
