LEX: "Whatever. It's called capitalism..."
NO ITS NOT. If anything its CRONY capitalism or CRIMINAL Capitalism. White collar crime at its finest. Unacceptable behavior in a Constitutional Republic.
It must be reformed. Nafta and Gatt and the WTO repealed 100%.
It DOESNT benefit a society...it benefits A FEW POWERFUL ELITISTS.
Long ago when we had a FUNCTIONAL GOVERNMENT...when a corporation did wrong to the population...THEIR CORPORATE CHARTER WAS REVOKED.
We need to bring back this LONG NEGLECTED law.
ENRON and HALLIBURTON is just the TINY tip
of the iceberg.
Otherwise, we as a people are headed for CORPORATE FASCISM approved by a CORRUPT GOVERNMENT.
I guess you see labor and producing things as basically worthless and their workers as not worthy of a LIVABLE WAGE. I suppose only TWITS on WALL ST. deserve a COST OF LIVING (C.O.L.A.) wage.
If Lex supports Capitalism in its present form..he supports "THE RACE TO THE BOTTOM" (Who will work for the lowest wage?)
I wwonder what LEX would think if HIS job was being "OUTSORCED", "DOWNSIZED"and HIS wages cut because some economist SAID it was "not worth" the present wage?
Hmmmmmm

I'd would move on and find another job. Really. No one is obligated to pay me $100/hr if someone else can or will do it for less. In fact, I would be offended if someone wanted to "protect" my job. I don't need protecting. If/when my services are no longer needed, I'll do something else.
To give you an idea: I'm a software developer. The latest "scare" is all the technology jobs that are going to India. That is something that is happening in my field and I do not support the idea of legislation being passed to limit this.
Ok?

Obviously you have little idea on how a CORRUPT, PYRAMIDAL HEIRARCHY is structured that leaves little room for checks and balances.
You are BLATANTLY stumping for a system that is 100% rotten to the core...only the OUTSIDE is nice a painted glossy red. |

Nah....only CORPORATIONS dictate public policy. Whatever the elite want, the elite get.
The little people have to scramble for who will work for the lowest wage. |

“These are other problems that need to be solved, then. Like I said, we need to implement it smartly”
How wonderfully immaculate that sounds in theory, AND IN THEORY ALONE. Too bad we have an empty figurehead for a leader being led by a corporate leash. Our country has become the fire hydrant for which he relieves himself upon, I believe it’s known as the “trickle down theory”. As Bill Maher said, it’s just another way of saying “they’re pissing on us”! There is no hope that any policy created by the current administration will be implemented intelligently.
“Actually, that wasn't my point. My point is that our country did fine without 220 years, now we have it”
Uhhhh, WTF! are you talking about?
“And the sale of military equipment is a whole other matter aside from free trade.”
Many of the countries we openly trade with are the same one’s that our “intelligence” claims sponsor terrorism. We are feeding the enemy.
“But soon after 9/11 I bought some of those flags at WalMart and people were grabbing them left and right.”
And those same people would probably wear a shirt that said “I’m a complete idiot” if endorsed by a republican. I’m not interested in the doings of anti-American morons.
“I don't care if something was built in my home town in Colorado, in California, or in India.”
Many IT jobs are moving to India, they say it’s because “us Americans” aren’t capable of doing the job well enough. That would be addressing you Mr. expert software developer, they’re BETTER THAN YOU they say. But that’s ok, you’re offended by any form of job security, you’ll just move on right? It's just so simple to lead the life of a nomad. You want worker mobility? You enjoy lack of stability and the job chasing lifestyle? Maybe you can take your mobile A%# to India and ride a camel, or better yet a magic carpet to work.
“Compare it to minimum wage in other countries and you will realize just how "liveable" it is.”
Oh you mean the overseas minimum slave wage that our countries corporations are literally tripping over each other to take advantage of? Yeah, soon we’ll all have first hand experience with that if your contorted mindset prevails.
