Workers Dignity Betrayed
When will our newspaper columnists and political leaders define free trade and the free enterprise system as it was historically defined and practiced. When will they tell us how much we have lost.
The rationale of the globalist free traders has taken over our news channels and political systems. There is no logic in the process of free trade as it steals our jobs away. Too many are now living off the suffering of the impoverished and hide of the truth.
Top newspapers, TV channels and our political leaders hold the value of labor and workers out of any real debates. They follow the free traders interpretation of a good economy. It is one that does things for less no matter what, for the sake of the stock markets values and creating value from paper money products instead of real products. Nothing seems to stop them as our economies based on making money on money instead of making things are burning out. The losses of massive values of both money and dignity are ignored. The statistics are tailored to hide the real world. Many are living in a silent depression.
No one challenges free trade as really being trade. Free trade is about moving factories from place to place for the sake of cheaper labor. The human dignity of workers and work itself has been degraded to a sub-human standard. Raw Capitalism flourishes with both liberals and conservatives driving free trade in the process for selfish reasons .
No one tells about the millions of workers who lost their jobs due to free trade or how much was really lost. Governments are now trying to create new jobs at a cost of about a million dollars per job. Just think of the value our society has lost due to free trade this way. We had millions of middle class jobs before free trade came. Most likely free trade lost trillions of dollars in value or workers and labor. And the value of workers and labor is more of a real money standard than the funny money paper values the investment communities try to create out of nothing.
I look at my printouts from the mid 1980s that show thousands of companies and businesses that no longer exist. Many had a history of being in business for more than fifty years. In high technology, I go through lists of start up companies in the thousands. I see systems houses, major data processing centers and general computer businesses of all kinds that were knocked out by free trade. Now when just one business start up takes off, the newspapers make it a headline. They say nothing about the thousands of computer ventures that were smashed by free trade. They call our region in Ohio and Pennslyvania the Rust Belt as if that was all there was when our manufacturing was thriving in the USA. I have a list of high technology accounts numbering in the thousands in just the tri-state area of Michigan, Ohio and Pennsylvania. It represents a loss of billions of dollars that never was replaced by free trade.
In the beginning of the computer age, the news wrote articles about the need to prepare for more leisure as computers and automation would take over. There is more leisure but not in a good way as millions have lost their jobs in all industries including the computer industry.
The think tanks talk about being able to enjoy some electronic toy for a fraction of the cost of what it would have been if made in the USA. They tell us about how much money it brings to the value of stocks and pension plans. However, only a very few are left who have a pension plan and the new working poor class exist only for the present trying to find different ways to survive. Temporary, contract workers and casual laborers will never reap the benefits of their stocks growing in value. Workers are out of the scheme of things and have no voice in the matter.
