A petition for help during our times of Economic Madness
Oh Lord, there seems to be no room for discussion about what caused the loss of so many jobs and the loss of so many other things in our lives due to
free trade and globalization.
We were taken down a road to nowhere while our leaders and the
media celebrate in places like the graveyard of the steel industry where greed buried the American Dream. A Walmart stores now stands where thousands of steelworkers once made a middle class living. Now workers at places like Walmart need government help and private sector charity to survive.
The Bureau of Unemployment counts single mothers making only a 100 dollars a month as employed.
Only about 38 percent of all workers in America, qualify for unemployment insurance. This means 62 percent are missing in action with no real data covering their suffering.
We have governors of states who cut and cut benefits. Many were money changers in the global economic arena and are responsible for all the losses we have suffered.
Political and local leaders lead the way using public funds to open casinos and medical marts to save the day. A vast underground economy grows as workers try to find ways to survive. Some search for memorabilia of a time when things were better to sell for a profit.
Local governments pay large corporations millions of dollars to stay put while small businesses are haunted by the tax collectors.
Several states have paid out billions of taxpayers money to foreign companies to build their assembly plants in the United States while millions of workers have lost their middle class jobs in the steel industry, the auto industry and other private sector production plants. The term Made in the USA has lost its meaning. New terms are used as components come from the wage slave workers of the world. Products have to travel thousands of miles to get to market with no one counting the economic or enivironmental cost due to long haul ocean, air, rail and truck shipping. Empty shipping containers stay behind because it is too expensive to ship them back. No one counts the overhead of all the protective packaging in the process. And many of the products are made under dirty manufacturing processes not only kills the environment but also many of the workers whose health are attacked.
President Obama comes into office and has to bail out the investment community that caused the economic mess but ignores the plight of the workers. Workers have no voice in the process as the failures of free trade continue no matter what major political party takes over. Many major cities now look like third world countries. Free trade is like a plague. President Franklin Roosevelt said economic diseases are highly contagious. Today, we see evidence of this all around us.
Headlines are made when a few jobs are found. The media writes about the possiblity of 5,000 new jobs in some kind of new endeavor in the next few years. I have my old customer and prospect list showing many companies who employed more than 5,000 workers with very few of these companies still in business.
The last small computer manufacturer in the USA closed down more than twenty years ago. Millions of workers lost their jobs in the computer industry since then. The media talks about creating new high tech jobs after all these jobs have been lost.
Several cities took taxpayers money to build new sports stadiums and arenas. We have super athletes who make millions. Many promote branded logos like the NIKE emblem. These emblems represent a vast global underclass of workers who make only pennies a day making the products, the athletes promote. Free trade is not trade as we once knew it to be. However, it does resemble the slave trade where human beings were used as commodities. Today workers are put on a world trading block to compete with one another for the same jobs down to wage slave and even child labor.
Now government workers complain about the cuts affecting them while their parking lots are full of foreign made cars. It's economic madness .
God help us now.
