If an American corporation employs most of its workers overseas, it ceases being American and becomes a foreign corporation and should have no American legal or security protection. All its executives should be sent to live in the third-world sewer whose poor people they exploit. The location of a company's labor actually defines the physical location of a company.
Those individuals, such as Walter Williams, who argue American workers have no inherent role in producing goods sold in America are ANTI-AMERICAN. They threaten the foundation of our sovereignty because they see the world as a borderless entity where the most hapless workers on earth can be exploited without regard to the conditions under which they live or work. And we, as American workers, do not dare to have a right to expect better working conditions than the poorest of the world's poor.
For the American people to be CONSUMERS they must be WAGE EARNERS FIRST!
Williams is wrong. Good jobs are disappearing in America at an alarming pace and a handful of disloyal executives are selling out their own people and their own country for a fast buck which ultimately will be short-lived as the American economy and standard of living is gutted through this treason. You don't want government regulation in the workplace? No job safety? No fire or building codes? No child labor laws? No workmens compensation? No proper ventilation? No electrical codes? No fire sprinklers or fire extinguishers? No sanitation or health codes?
Are we heading back to "The Jungle" by Upton Sinclair? Read this book about the inhuman working conditions in the early slaughterhouses of America. Are we going back to inhuman working conditions in America to avoid "red tape?"
We are in a race to the bottom and so-called "free-trade capitalists" are digging our graves as fast as their little shovels can dig. China and India are not rising to our level. We are falling to theirs.
I don't despise the capitalism of human exploiters like Williams, I despise their treason.
It's American if it's made in America by Americans. We have set the standards for respectful treatment of workers and all of the world's workers deserve the same job health and safety protection. The American people have absolutely no reason to apologize for or backtrack from the high standards of the workplace we have set.
I am sick and tired of Starbucks-sipping turncoats looking down their noses at fine American workers who sweat hard to build the houses and automobiles barely containing the pampered fat asses of these arrogant, ungrateful traitors.
Do you want to hire Mexicans, Chinese or Indians? MOVE YOURSELF AND YOUR FAMILY TO MEXICO, CHINA OR INDIA! STOP SCREWING YOUR AMERICAN COUNTRYMEN!
What about you looking down your nose at poor people and wanting to jack prices on everything up on them despite how much that hurts them? Are you not a prick too?
