Papantonio: Corporate America Loves Sweatshop Capitalism

[rickbar123]

Get the fucking overseas made products off our fucking shelfs. That's a wake up call.

[shroomduke]

Corporate Lawyers will tell you that "THEIR ONLY OBLIGATION IS TO MAKE MONEY" ergo they have No obligation to Democracy, America, Justice, Humanity, the Environment, Life, Liberty or the Pursuit of happiness!

Like an obese petulant child, whose insatiable gluttony and selfishness are out of control, they will self destruct and take our economy, environment, democracy, and stability down with them!

Let’s demand that EVERY Corporations primary obligation is to The People of America!

[Realizalize]

In the employment thingy they are also able to do it deliberately. They decide what they want and can make numbers grow or fall like they want. The industry is full of itself because it plays into every number that is seemingly relevant to governments statistics. Just a hint of a forecast or probability leaves us arguing senslessly about it.

Schabziger - also - no need to start the war with the names. My hard comments are not aimed at you at all. Just the same type of hypocritical leadership that resides in Churches that do not practice what they preach. Is there anything wrong with exposing hypocrisy?

On my way to see my friend at UBS, I got twisted with directions. In the oddest turn of events, I needed to turn around and just happen to pull into the parking garage that is at his law firm. I was shocked to see his name and the grey Bently that he drives. I also noticed that his lawn crew is more likely to need a green card than a union card. So much of his support for american union works!

Umberto2 - Mike complains about companies sending jobs overseas, yet he continues to buy foreign cars. Is that a bit hypocritical?

[Schabziger]

@comband2000 Oh, and you know what kind of car he owns? You know where his car was built, whether the maker of his auto brand supports U.S. workers or shipping jobs overseas? Really? You know all that? Proof or STFU, spamtroll.

[17GreenLantern]

can't really argue with this. But for the sake of maintaining entrepreneurial spirit, there should be a policy something like this: If America is expanding and peaking, corporations can do what they want, but if America is receding and depressed, corporations have a BARE MINIMUM of 50% of new jobs in America

[northmeister]

@17GreenLantern -- No. The solution is simple. Require by law that all corporations, whether 'American' owned or 'Foreign' owned or whatever they want to call themselves - make it here to sell it here, make it there to sell it there. If they make it here, it has to be a Franchise owned by Americans by stock, if there same thing. This and require 50% component parts of all assembled here - the higher per. the higher tax breaks - the higher wages the higher tax breaks...if dont they cant sell here

[17GreenLantern]

@northmeister I don't think our ideas disagree with each other, but rather yours has more detail to it

[MrLorack]

Mike, as usual 100% right,  thanks

[comband2000]

That is great Mike...Quit buying your foreign then you can legitimate complain about US companies. You are nothing but an nothing but anti capitalist anti-patriotic PIG. You are the one who doesn't care about the american worker. You just want to destroy this country!

[Umberto2]

@comband2000 explain yourself please. MIke loves this country and hates to see it destroyed by uber-capitalist fucks that you shouldn't be supporting. Why do you love corporations that don't give a shit about America? Are you really, really rich, because that's the only excuse you have.

[JejuLee]

That these companies "will create jobs...if we give them tax breaks and subsidies" is not a MYTH, it's a purposeful and well-marketed part of the disinformation war which they are waging against Americans to enslave them. The ULTIMATE goal is to bring world-wide-wages into equilibrium, leaving Americans to work for pennies/hour, just as many in the official third-worlds do now. Believe.

In fact, had I not started typing this while listening to Cenk, I wouldn't have needed to: Pap nailed it!

[shroomduke]

@JejuLee Pap is a genious!

UNDO 30 years of FAILED Reaganomics

we need to STOP CORPORATE WELFARE, UNNECESSARY WARS, & FOREIGN AID...!

Why do corporations making record profits need tax breaks?

Chevron, received a $19 million tax refund; Valero Energy, which received $157 mil. from the IRS. Independent oil and gas companies which made a combined $3.7 billion in profits in the first quarter of 2010 and $25.7 billion in revenue also received generous tax breaks from the IRS

Corporate America does NOT want to create jobs here in America ! pay the workers nothing & make massive profits. NIKE is a great example ! Pay the workers 50 cents an hour, those shoes really cost only $10 to produce, charge dumb Americans $110 for that pair of shoes & the profits are enormous for NIKE !!
