I'm an engineer. I was employed at a rather large company that manufactures heavy duty off road vehicles, (Wheel Loaders and Excavators and such). Recently, I've lost my job because the quot;higher upsquot; in my company decided to cut costs. They hired an engineer from India to replace me at a fraction of the cost of my wage. I'm middle class and when I see these people with six figure incomes it makes me question their true worth? They will argue that it's actually positive for our the company and our ecomony, but as I sit here typing this, (unemployed), I wonder....who are the ones benefitting? I am unemployed. I don't build bulldozers any longer but they are still being built. These bulldozers clear the land for the house that I can no longer afford. The carpenter, plumber, electrician, etc. don't have a job because the house was never built. They don't have to buy tools anymore either. The trucks that deliver those tools will be parked. I wish I could type more, but you get the point!
Our government will never regulate it. They are all in the pockets of big business. Sorry you lost your job. Hope you can find another soon.
Profit is the only guide in business, not the lives that are destroyed for it . I do not blame the people who get our jobs, but I am annoyed at the managers who give them away
Do you really want more government involvement in the economy? How do you think things got the way they are now, too much government interference in private business. How many small businesses are being forced out of business because they cannot afford to meet government regulations, and never could for that matter. How many of them were taxed out of existence too?
The loss of jobs, the outsourcing of jobs, the continuing attack on pension plans health plans can be laid at he feet of the marriage of your elected congress person big business. As long as congress is on the take from Corporate America AND the American people keep putting these individuals back into office the loss of our standard of living will continue. If we start throwing these lying money suckers out of office, you will be amazed how fast this problem is corrected. Although a percentage of us can feel we are above this fray sooner or later it WILL involve affect them.
