The Whirlpool Corporation is one of hundreds of businesses that get millions in grants from the US government. They money is supposed to help the people in the community get out of financial woes. Whirlpool has outsourced jobs that were once in Benton Harbor, Michigan where the unemployment rate is at about 60 percent. Max Fraad Wolff, senior analyst at Greencrest Capital, joins us to discuss this issue.

  • Why were my comments removed? Did I say anything wrong? I am not entitled to my opinion? Three questions that raise many other questions...

  • @Nonnos Bare foot economics. We need to get away from the fetish of economic growth. No living thing can grow forever, it will collapse if it does so. The econemy is a finite subsystem of the biosphere, so continuous economic growth is impossible. We need a econemy based on development. Use the available resources to develop people's lives in a anarchist way, local cooperation.

  • @youngbuck189 So, in your opinion, what do you think the solution is?

  • @Nonnos I am not a fan or proponent of Austrian or Chicago economics. Two sides of a dangerous coin in my opinion.

  • @youngbuck189 By the way, I think we can agree though, that free trade and a sound money policy is the way to go. I agree with that with you. What do you think of Austrian Economics?

  • @youngbuck189 Man, I understand that Corporate Capitalism is terrible, but this is not only Capitalism, you have welfare which is Socialism, and the dominance of Private Mega-Corporations over public affairs which according to Mussolini himself, is Fascism! So... I am not convinced that this system is only Capitalist in nature, but also Socialist and Fascist. And do not say its not, because I have already justified that it is... Just check out the info for yourself.

  • @Judeschwein88 Oh yeah, I forgot, This goy needs to work at slavewages to enhance the lives of God's beloved people. (BTW, I can be a goy but I can not be a goyim for goyim is plural you schmuck LOL.

  • @Nonnos It's capitalist, not purely, but it is capitalism. You can't say it's not because you don't like it. Don't like capitalism, it's the system you are living under.

    CAPITALISM = EXPLOITATION

    Always has been and always will be, it's the worst thing humans have ever invented.

  • @youngbuck189 Thanks for the info! But I havent read about Adam Smith, but I am almost sure that he wouldnt consider us to be living in a Capitalist society. There are no Freek Markets, only corporate power. No one can call this Capitalism, by any definition I am sure. And there is no Democracy. We always get chosen our leaders for us. And it is such an obvious thing, I dont even know how more people dont realise it. And they will not stop until they take everything from everyone!!

  • @98bigbutt RT America and Alyona Show aren't anti-American at all. They are more Anti-US government, which itself is Anti-American.

    I agree, MSM is what is Anti-American
