Would you like to know what's keeping America from developing more jobs? Well here it is in all it's wondrous glory. Our workforce is too well educated and were striving to make it an even better educated workforce. Say what? See, what corporate America wants in an American workforce is a poorly educated, docile workforce capable only of being trained to push the right button at the right time to enable the robot to do the work. You think I'm wrong? Then why does corporate America continually send jobs to third world countries? Because labor is cheaper? Well of course it's cheaper. It's workforces are docile, poorly educated, but capable of being trained to push the right button at the right time. I had a conversation with a conservative friend of mine the other day. He told me about his friend who ran a company some years back. The friend laid off people when the minimum wage went to $5. years ago. He decided he'd rather loose money then pay such an exorbitant wage. If corporate America had it's way, they'd still be paying American workers three dollars a day for twelve hour shifts. The workers would still be living in company homes in company towns. We'd be back in a feudal society. There would only be the poor worker class and the wealthy landlord/company executives class. Oh, and a few wallstreet hedgefund managers.
Healthcare would consist of a pink slip if you got sick. 18th century France tried that. It worked so well that many of the rich got so caught up in it that they lost their heads over it. The thing is that here in
America, corporations are rewarded for shipping jobs overseas. It's just an added incentive. Who would do such a thing? The guys we voted for.
