    Default Profits Just Hit Another All-Time High, Wages Just Hit Another All-Time Low.

    http://www.businessinsider.com/profi...-at-low-2013-4

    This is the most important American issue except for unnecessary wars. And that is a fact.

    So debate what is causing the outsourcing. Perhaps include NAFTA which was a temporary gain, leading to total outsourcing. Maybe even discuss the "Anti-Outsourcing bill of 2010" that would end tax breaks for shipping jobs over seas, give American Corporations a tax break, and why the (R)ight turned it down. Discuss environmental issues, should we be living in the same conditions as China is right now so Corporations can profit, or should we raise the bar as a leading Country? Does minimum wage force Corporations to "Share the wealth" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Share_Our_Wealth, or does it "force" Corporations to find more profit over sea's? And if "Trickle down economics" worked.....why are Corporations doing extremely well and Americans are not?

    I don't want to expose Right Wingers as being uninformed on here but listening to Fox news makes you uninformed. Fox News and the Corporatocracy want all of your money and are willing to tell you "you hate success" if you stand against Corporate corruption.

    I live in a Right Wing town and most of us are Rednecks. Most of us actually have the most useful jobs a society could need. And Fox News and other trends want to convince you that you are a useless part of society.

    Fireman, Police, Teachers, Mechanics, Farmers tend to lean Right when they deserve more money than the rest of superficial America. Why are these the least paid jobs and the superficial jobs are paid the most?

    I really hope the hard workers wake up and stand their ground soon. Because Fox News is brainwashing them into thinking endangering humans and paying them squat is simply ok if Corporations profit from it.

    So the Right has a lot to say, but not if they can't google it........typical.

    How I wish the typical right wing voter could figure out they are being used by the wealthy.

    all the evidence is there.


    it couldn't be more blatant.

    I'm not sure it can all be blamed on outsourcing. I think part of it is that companies are just hanging on to their cash, figuring they don't have to give raises right now because the economy is so weak workers can't just walk away and get another job. And they'd rather work the employees harder than hire more people.

    It sucks. And imagine how surprised companies will be when the economy does improve some more and people walk away showing no corporate loyalty...

    I've had awesome reviews and no raises for years. Because of the way the bonus plan is structured (which is out of my control), I'm making less money now than I was a few years ago. I haven't walked yet due to some non-monetary factors that are very important to me. But it's a lot hard to get myself to work any OT, that's for sure.

    they will ONLY hire when it makes them more money.

    your right they still have plenty of room to squeeze the current employees.

    What facts would you like them to accept? That's a pretty general statement.

    Desh I know you want these right-wing voters to vote for Democrats. Yet after five years of a Democratic administration we have profits at an all time high and wages at an all time low. How does that incentivize them?
