Hershey Co. (The Chocolate Makers) are planning on laying off thousands of American workers over the next few years so they can open up plants in Mexico, and hire much cheaper labor down there.
Will Hershey Co. still get welfare, in the form of huge tax cuts from the American Government?

I feel disgusted not just because thousands of hard working Americans will lose their jobs but also because Hershey is going to be exploiting poor Mexicans in those awful sweatshops. This is an economic and a humanitarian issue. This poses a threat to Americas economy because in the past, unemployment has been laced with huge economic downfalls. This is also a humanitarian issue because those Mexicans will probaly be working for maybe 15-18 hours a day for next to nothing in some very harsh working conditions. Hershey is just doing this for money and dont care about the thousand of lives they are going to make worse because of their actions.

It's disappointing to see American jobs go to another country but we live in a world economy now so it's not too disappointing. Mexico, where Hershey is planning to open a new plant and hire more workers while reducing jobs in America, is one of the biggest buyers of American products, so the economics comes full circle.

some weeks in the past the hard work branch mentioned the worst month-to-month activity losses in 5 years. each sector (different than healthcare) is affected. government and fiscal experts agree that the shortcoming of jobs and increasing unemployment cost is the end results of a declining financial equipment. The housing industry is crashing and agencies are pulling lower back and delaying hiring. Even the government is scaling lower back and cutting jobs. Unemployment is not any longer in basic terms a private difficulty - it relatively is a societal difficulty. the government is cutting taxes and reducing fees of activity in an attempt to stimulate the financial equipment, yet so some distance that's not convalescing activity develop yet.

Sucks for them, but they would have found this out a while back; if they were industrious, they would find a job in two weeks at most. Meanwhile, if they were smart, they would have some money saved up, that they could live on. The idea of Hershey sending jobs to Mexico disgusts me, but it's their company. Within the law they can do what they want with it.

First of all, if a company gets a tax cut, then they are getting their money back.
Secondly, it is great that they are moving to Mexico. This means that the tax laws that liberals like you support make it too expensive to do business here.
Thirdly, we are moving away from a manufacturing economy and into an informational one. Workers need to have skills that are marketable and must learn new skills.

Don't think that is true... all they have to do is go down to the local street corner and hire illegals (Mexicans)... they don't have to move anywhere.
