gee. too bad their wages suck, huh?


Hell NO! It's a tremendous advantage!

for the rich

oh...i forgot...you think wages are welfare.

I don't understand, the scum you elect tell you it's good for you, totally
disregarding the fact that cost is unrelated to price.




oh, yeah...the US. i agree the US manufacturing sector is shrinking.
the right wing thinks wages are a form of welfare so they prefer to
manufacture in places where slavery is legal and there are no
unions,
like china

It's like I'm in the same movie over and over.

yeah i know. you and rush keep telling us the middle class needs to be
destroyed so the rich can be happy.


Let's pretend you produce something, like coffee pots. Suddenly you
notice
most stores are handling cheaply made imported coffee pots and no one's
buying yours The buyers don't care, your $30 coffee pot lasts 10 years,
the
$20 coffee pots last one year. "Americans" think the $20 coffee pot is
"cheaper.". You 1) Close you business and pan handle, or, 2) move your
production overseas. Multiply that times tens of thousands of products.
Suddenly your neighborhood looks like the U.S. does now.

and let's look at the real world, OK? the US middle class worker
makes a coffee pot for 20% less than it cost 10 years ago. the rich
factory owner sells the pot and gives precisely

zero pay increases to the workers...which is what we have going today.

Why should you (or anyone else) get a raise? Ever heard of earning a raise?
What have you done to improve your capabilities?


not in germany. france. sweden. switzerland. finland. norway

only in the US. and that's why you love the american rich. they're
doing to the middle class what you think should be done in other
countries.




I couldn't care less what you buy, it's your free choice, and to
suffer
from
the choices you make.

no, we suffer from the choices YOU make as a right wing enabler of
corporate thievery

A mere rant - go into detail. Who stole what from whom, and how?

productivity. see above



I regret that event - please explain what was stolen, and how.

what was stolen was the US middle class. funny you ignore the fact
germany, france, sweden and switzerland dont have this problem

you're kinda stupid that way. you're very emotional and dont like
facts

I explained that before. Europeans have a sense of nationalism;
"Americans"
do not.

americans have a sense of nationalism. europeans do not. ever been to
europe? apparently you haven't.

few countries are more nationalistic than the US. what the other
countries have that the US does NOT is a sense of fairness to middle
class wage earners. america has a LARGE conservative base. which is
pro rich. which is why the middle class is dying.


If you live in the U.S, even now, you wouldn't like living almost
anywhere
as the "middle class" in Europe.

Go spend a night in downtown Frankfurt, Paris, Munich, Amsterdam, see the
homes and amenities, the hotel you can occupy for $200 a night. (US$, as
they are worthless). In the U.S. of 25 years ago it would be considered
government housing.

But it's better there, right?

Speaking of U.S. dollars, Philippine Banks almost never accept U.S. currency
exchange any more. To get Php you need to use an ATM or find a high rate
dollar exchange booth at "the market." That's impressive.
