Yakk,

I would much rather have a short term bandage (ie manufacturing brought back) then this continuous gushing of blood we now have. At least, in the short term we could find ways to improve long term. Right now the government and the middle class are just trying to survive economically... and they are failing badly.

The less people are paid the more dependant on government they become.... healthcare, education, etc. and the more taxes the rich will eventually have to pay.

You cannot have upper management making millions and the workers making enough to barely live forever. Eventually there will be a dramatic decrease in the nation's overall wealth.

You need to distribute wealth fairly in order to keep moving forward... otherwise you become overburdened on bothe ends. When that happens the middle breaks and a true depression happens. Look at history, the 20's and 30's economies are comparable to today.

We have let this faux "capitalism" go on to the point where it is destroying this country and the world. True capitalism is a fair (not equal.... FAIR) distribution of wealth that allows workers the income to spend on merchandise without going into severe debt. By allowing that to happen the economy continues a strong move forward and all are happy. However, when you pay workers barely enough to survive and threaten to go elswhere for cheaper labor, you promote massive debt and in turn the economy becomes very unstable and goes through severe highs and lows until it reaches an apex and crashes destroying everything.

My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
