Again, we must get used to this global economy factor. So, make sure you do a job that cannot be off shore sourced.

Of course, every country will run into problems when the people realize they're being taken advantage for low wages. First a lot of jobs went to Mexico, everyone got pissed in the USA and then Mexico workers demanded I think 8% wage increase.

In response, a bunch of jobs started going to Brazil. Again everyone got pissed and then the workers in Brazil demanded I think a 5% wage increase.

Now, everything is going to China and India, with people being injured and abused. So, the real question now and I think its starting already, is when will the workers their demand an increase?

I think it will come full circle, just don't know when. I currently work for a solar panel manufacturer and am thinking about going back into automotive, but still worried about the fall out going on.

This topic seems to have a lot of people very concerned.


I have tried to express my thoughts on this subject.

Your comments are very welcome.


Please take a moment of your time to read the following:

The myth of globalization


The latter day reference to globalization (global economy) is a myth being sold to the American public as a cover for multinational corporations current goal of throwing away American workers in favor of cheap foreign labor both offshore and here at home.


We have always had a global economy. It's called international trade. It is also supposed to be a fair game. Our government is supposed to protect the American people from economic damage resulting from unfair or one-sided trade practices, or those practices which deprive the American people of security and well being.


We, the American public, who have paid taxes and sacrificed our most dear sons for generations to support a strong military, which has kept trade routes open for corporations, are the ones left 'holding the bag' as these same corporations throw American workers away like a used Kleenex tissue.


How much erosion in our standard of living will the American public put up with? How many good paying jobs can we lose before we become another third world country?


How long can the current, trillion dollar, one-sided, trade deficits with China and India suck the wealth out of our country before we reach the point of financial Armageddon?


We shall see.


Corporations have thousands of lobbyists in Washington DC right now using money to influence and manipulate our political process in a constant effort to undermine and thwart the American people's positions on Immigration, Jobs, the economy, and the toxic one-sided abuses present in today's international trade.

We Americans, who have worked the longest work weeks and taken the shortest vacations in the western world, set global standards for productivity, played by the rules, voted for and served in a strong military, and sacrificed when called upon, clearly deserve better from the corporations we have worked so hard to build and the government we believe in.


Any politician in Washington may be reached by using this toll free number and asking for their office:


Please Call: 1-800-307-8525

Remember to be polite and direct in stating your opinion whether you agree with me or not.

Make it a great year.


Best Regards,


David
