You're assuming I give a rats @ss about "Freedom" I really don't.
I care about results (Well being) of my society.
People shouldn't have the freedom to ruin the well being of society.
So who is ruining society and how? Freedom gives you the ability to work for somebody or not. It's not like Cuba where everybody basically works for the government.
That's why we're against drug dealers, we're against people who pee in alley-ways, we're against people who steal, people who touch themselves in movie theaters like Pee Wee, and also this really needs to be expanded to Illegal Immigrants, and Outsourced jobs, which also cause problems for "American society"
No, they cause problems for you but not for society. Society gets cheaper products which is what our society wants. If society didn't want that, they would quit purchasing those products. If society didn't like what a CEO made last year, they won't deal with his or her company.
You don't speak for society and neither do I. Society speaks for itself.
Besides, the American workers built these companies for years.
Now they're giving their own people the royal flush?
It's complete disrespect, and unpatriotic.
If they don't respect our country, they should suffer the consequences, plain, and simple.
Workers didn't build anything. Workers simply work. Companies and corporations do the building.
Nobody is getting the royal flush because nobody is forced to work for anybody. Employment is an agreement between employer and employee. Both agree to X before that union is formed.
To say that workers build nothing is ridiculous.
As if production can be achieved by CEO's alone.
I really believe some Corporate think tank pays you for propaganda.
You really got to wonder about someone who blames workers, or customers for CEO decisions to outsource.
It would be nice if we did have cheaper products but that never really happened.
Oh yeah? Well you manufacture a 50' string of X-mas lights for $15.00. Good luck.
We've never had cheaper products for two reasons: One, automation. Two, foreign labor.
It's the people with the money that build things. Workers simply work. I don't make money every day, my employer does. He purchased the equipment. He owns the building. He built the business. It was his money that was invested. He built his customer base. I didn't do any of those things. He simply gives me a portion of HIS profits that HE deems necessary.
To say workers built a business is as if to say your stock broker made you rich even though it was your money invested; it was your call on what securities to hold. Or to say your real estate agent made you wealthy even though it was you who purchased the homes, remodeled them, and resold them.
None of these people are responsible for your wealth, you are. You simply hired these people to carry out your financial plans, and you paid them fairly for their work.
What cheaper products?
I've never seen these cheaper products, and neither has my dad.
Uh, even with automation workers must maintain the machines, therefor the production no matter what is depended on more than just CEO's.
An I phone X costs about a thousand dollars. What do you suppose it would cost if made in the USA? How about a big screen television or even an alarm clock? Perhaps the reason you believe products are not cheaper is because you have nothing to compare it to.

Yeah we have stuff to compare them to, alright.
Take tools like a wrench, always about the same prices, quality way down since the move to Chinese production.
This is the same cr@p over, and over again, they just are greedy f*cks who have not one ounce of pride, or patriotism.
