Companies deserve blame, too

Companies deserve blame, too

Did you ever notice that when a company files for bankruptcy, it’s always because the workers make too much money?

Workers’ pensions are way too high, and health-care premiums are rising, but they fail to mention what role management might have played in pushing the company toward bankruptcy.

The next thing you know is that a lot of these companies move their operations to China, Mexico or India, leaving hundreds of workers without a way to feed their families and pay their bills. The products that they make such as refrigerators, ranges, cars, etc., cannot be bought by the people they employ in these countries because of the 50-cents per-hour wages and the people you put out of work in the good old U.S.A. can’t and won’t buy your products.

So what is their reasoning? Do they think that the filthy rich are going to keep them afloat? I don’t think so. Under the Bush administration, the poverty level rose for four straight years, and a lot of that is due to him giving tax breaks to corporations that moved their operations offshore. These corporations are digging their own graves.

When Mexico is taken over by the drug cartels and the rebels, who are they going to cry to then? When China finally rules the world, are they going to bow down to their Communist masters? Whatever happens to them, they deserve everything they get. Thank you.
