Tapsearch Com EditorWhat about Globalization and Free Trade
October 6th 2009 00:24
Is it human nature to shop for the cheapest possible item without considering the reasons behind the prices or should we expect something better from human nature.
As I listen to Michael Moore telling about his new movie about Capitalism and the absene of real democracy in the process, a train is passing nearby with shipping containers from COSCO shipping giant, which is owned in part by the Chinese Liberation Army. The shipping containers roll by full of imports that creates a one way flow of money. Workers as consumers, shop their way out of their jobs with a Communist nation controlling the flow. This is how Capitalism changed and I wonder why no one seems to care. President Obama does not even mention that Free Trade, Globalization and the Trade Deficit may be both the cause and effect of our economic crisis. Michale Moore excuses President Obama from the proposition, saying he inherited the economic mess from President Bush. He neglects to say anything about President Bush walking in the footsteps of President Clinton who activated most of the Free Trade programs that the elder President Bush initiated. It is obvious to me that President Obama was passed the baton as he bailed out the financial communities that caused the problems while ignoring all who lost their jobs and living due to Free Trade and Globalization. A working middle class was replaced by a new working poor class years ago and now even they are losing their jobs.
It appears that many of our past and present presidents are all part of an elite power group in government and business that ransacked the Free Enterprise system. And no one seems to want to challenge them. Our unemployment rate was fabricated several years ago under the elder President Bush and President Clinton. In other countries like Germany they try to protect living wage jobs that do affect employment rates but in a true Democracy, leaders hold human dignity in the work day as a priority. Also, most likely, their unemployment rate reporting is much more accurate than ours.
The U.S. unemployment rate is a facade considering only about 38% of all American workers qualify for unemployment insurance. Even a person making only a hundred dollars a month is considered employed in the USA. I wonder how our political leaders account for this. I wonder why no one talks about the U.S. Federal Government sponsoring the moving of factories outside the USA starting in 1956. When did the unemployment rate reporting change to include all the part-time, contract, casual labor and temporary jobs? I am sure it was not the same back in the 1970s.
I grew up in a family business and had many of my own business ventures in my life as I watched the ransacking of the Free Enterprise system in a new Socialist Communist Capitalism way. None of the 25 or so corporations and ventures I was associated with exist today. I personally watched as about a thousand prospects and customers closed down their businesses in the USA. I watched as even one hundred year old companies went out of business.
I also worked at several factories while going to college and found out quickly there is no
connection between the working man and the economy taught in business classes based on funny money economics. There is a vast void between the working day for most of us and the economic day defined by elite groupings and academicism based on speculation and theories rather than practice.
I suggest people should contemplate about all this while waiting at a railroad crossing, watching all the Chinese Liberation Army's COSCO shipping containers rattle by. Communism and Capitalism roll by as one in the greatest betrayal fo workers ever and a real Democratic Free Enterprise.
Someone should tell Michael Moore to put this in one of his future movie documentaries. He could depict the flow of the shipping containers passing by as he waits in his automobile built or assembled with foreign parts coming from the wage slave labor markets of the world. The container go only one way and many of the empty containers are stored here in the USA since we do not export that much anymore and it is not cost effective to have the empty containers sent back to their point of origin. In our major cities, there is more things empty too. We can drive for miles down many main streets in our cities and see empty storefronts and empty factories along the way.
Our economy based on making money on money instead of making things has burned out and no one seems to want to talk about it or show it on the big screen.

Don't leave Free Trade, Globalization and the Trade Deficit outside the picture
