This really isn't rocket science.
Corporate CEOs have a fiduciary responsibi
lity to make profits for their shareholde
rs.
If that means outsourcin
g Americans' jobs because corporatio
ns can make their products cheaper overseas, so be it -- With emerging markets worldwide, corporatio
ns don't need Americans as customers, so who cares if American workers have the money to purchase these products anymore?
Jeff Immelt, the head of GE and Obama's Job Council, said as much last night on 60 Minutes (although it's not really news).
If that means polluting the environmen
t (because the costs of disposing of toxic materials would cut into profits, and as 'persons', corporatio
ns are protected from the same Constituti
onal protection
s against unlawful searches as real people are), so be it. By the time Americans get it together, realize the truth and fix the mistake of 'corporati
ons are people', Congress will have eliminated the regulation
s on toxic waste dumping (or the White House won't implement or enforce the regulation
s, or refuse to prosecute corporate criminals)
.
Obama's in the Oval Office to mellow-tal
k us into accepting that which we'd never stand still for if we had contentiou
s, fire-in-th
e-belly
real Democratic leaders actually fighting on our behalf. Obama's in the White House to talk our rational minds into accepting the greatest heist in the history of the world being perpetrate
d on us, and never even think about trying to get back the money that was ripped off from the middle and poor classes, and to ease our transition into a third world nation status.
Obama is the grifter leading off the second half of the con game, which is to squeeze the rest of the dimes from the poor and middle classes. It began in earnest (and on steroids) with part 2 of Bush's Medicare Reform Act of 2003 (high-pric
ed junk health insurance that has no cost controls), and has continued with his push for more NAFTA-like treaties (outsourci
ng more Americans' jobs) and the Deficit Commission and now with this 'Super Congress'.
