Unions stealing "occupy bostons" thunder

[TheSpecialist]

Alot of people miss the bigger picture. Companies offshore production because they know if they want to raise profits without pissing off the consumer to please the investor it is the only way. They still charge the same amount of money for the product, but now have larger margins. Part of the problem is that companies are publicly traded, leading to smaller companies not to be able to compete and being bought up. FTA's are killing us, and we borrow money from the chinese to boot. When did it become alright for the CEO to make for example 364 times the amount of the average worker?

This is the 1percent they are talking about

people have short memories....

1995 I'm living in California, every 20-something I worked with was ditching the corporate world and off to some dot-com, making wads of cash. Every 40-50yr old with a shiny 401k was like a teen on viagra, their wimpy retirement investments were now worth BIG bucks while idiots paid over $400 a share or frekin eBay. There was no whining about the death of the american dream, NO ONE was whining. Times where good, and all these people with big nest eggs, instead of downsizing and moving to retirement homes, they bought BIGGER, more expensive homes, driving up real estate around the country. No one (except new home buyers) was whining when their homes they bought for 65K where now worth 350K.
The 50 and 60s where fine times because 10 years earlier every single country except the us was destroyed. We where the only industry. Things where simpler, but there where less people, more resources, and NO competition globally, all money came here.
time to wake up, kids in India, China, Vietnam, have computers, they study, they crave resources. All this adds up. Dont blame the rich, dont blame the wealthy. In american there is NO barrier to become wealthy, class, color, race - dont matter. Christ Jobs and Gates are freaking drop outs. Business is business, has been since the stone age. Some sat around and wished it would rain, some diverted rivers to provide for their crops. Some built pyramids, some lived in caves. The future is yours to make.
