Do we want to remain a nation, or become a large, impersonal factory importing labour from the cheapest source

Question

Thanks to Pelagius for this question.

looking for the REAL answer: would you please explain. I couldn't follow what you were saying.

Answer 1

The elite (those who have power and money) would go for a large impersonal factory importing labour from the cheapest source.

Answer 2

Excellent question, and it's one I'd like to ask every neocon who says, "Let the free market work." What they really mean by that is to let the large corporations operate without any restrictions and let the CEOs keep taking home their 8-figure paychecks. The trickle-down theory claims that this will help the "little guys" who work for these companies, but in reality the CEOs will do anything to hang onto those multi-million-dollar salaries, including outsourcing all of the labor to overseas sweatshops. That has led to a huge dichotomy between the overpaid CEOs and the underpaid or unemployed workers who can't afford to feed their families. I don't know what the ideal solution is, but giving the filthy rich all of the tax breaks while making the working poor bear the burden most certainly isn't it. We need a fairer tax structure.

Answer 3

Shouldn't this be in 'immigration?' That's what 'importing cheap labor' is, in political speak.

Anyway, nations are united by a common culture, single ethnicity, and/or sense of history. America never had the second one, and is losing the other two rapidly.

Answer 4

ummm Isn't that China? I don't where you work or even have a job, but that's not the case over here no impersonal factories where I come from and that's earth unlike you who likes to pretend threes some kind of illegal epidemic

Answer 5

Doesn't matter because you are too divided to do anything about it. It is really that simple.
