You missed my point. They shifted the jobs so they could reap more.
CEO's dont own the company, shareholders do. That's the problem.
It just does not stop there either Stu, now we have Bill Gates saying
"We need to change VISA laws". What he is really saying is "I dont
want to pay for expensive Americans I want to import my workers, pay
them peanuts, and not pay taxes on them either!
Now I own my own buisness and I know the temptations of saving money.
But I also know my fellow man, my neighbor, and I hate to see entire
families destroyed because some CEO wanted a bigger Mansion. I hear
people like you say all the time "Whats the big deal"? Well Stuart,
when it comes and takes money from your plate what would you say then?
In the end people need to look at the Big Picture. Who pays to tend for
the unemployed? You and me. (If you have a job that is.) It not the CEO
or FORD, it the average joe. If we dont protect our jobs then we will
just wait to have our own French Revolution and the CEO's will be the
Tyrants we hang.
I would feel disgusted with myself knowing that I made a couple hundred
Million Dollars a year whilst I condemned decent people to poverty.
Does a College Education require such massive pay? Ever hear of ENRON?
Well ENRON had a scam saying there were power shortages so they hiked
our rates. And after ENRON fell and the truth was revealed that there
was no power shortage do you think they lowered our rates or refunded
us? HELL NO. There are new criminals, and they control large buisness.
They destroy the little guys and then destroy the very company they
control.
I am in the industrial electronics field, and I deal with Arrogant
people in Ivory towers. I charged a company 50,000 dollars to consult
on improving production for a paper mill. All I did was go and talk to
the workers on the floor and gather their ideas, ideas that were
presented to the company and rejected. So why did they listen to me
then? Because I have a University degree and put it all together in a
nice, fancy, well written presentation thats why. When I say Caste I do
mean Caste system.
If company's are going to orphan hundreds or thousands of workers, they
better assist these people to be re-schooled or re-trained. Its only a
fraction from the CEO's bonus, is he/she to heartless to make a
"Sacrifice"? You better believe it!
