ParticipantMan I just have to keep doing this to save us all time. Here are the arguments that we will see in this thread:
1) Americans deserve to be unemployed because they are lazy.
2) Unions killed America.
3) Americans are too stupid to compete against foreign workers.
4) Americans are overpaid. What, you think you *deserve* a roof over your head? There’s someone in Thailand that lives in a shanty that can do your job cheaper, bub!
5) American products are of poor quality anyway — unlike my new Acura, which is fantastic! BTW, let me tell you all about it…
OK so I’ve saved us all the trouble of what we would normally have to spend time typing and reading here. Now we can go back to work (if we still have any ha ha ha).

Making sure the lower classes internalize *fault* is an important factor in keeping it all together. Otherwise we turn into Greece with molotov cocktails flying in the streets.

My view is that greed rules. The reason why investment banks are NOT self-regulating is because they are comprised of individuals. A single fund manager would gladly see his firm go bankrupt if he could pocket a billion dollars in the process. An employee acting in his own self interest doesn’t mean he’s doing what’s best for the company. A company needs to make sure that the incentives of the employees are in line with its own well being.Likewise, a business will gladly undermine America’s economy if the incentives were large enough. That’s just the way it is. So it is up to America to create an economic policy which aligns business interests with America’s interests. Unfortunately, these days, it seems like America is corporate owned so I’m not too hopeful that things will change for the better.
[/quote]Bingo.
That’s one interesting idea from the article, which I hadn’t seen before. Let’s use our tax structure to promote American workers. But unless done correctly, this could backfire as well. After all, the few remaining American workers are on Wall Street. Which means the big banks would get huge tax incentives.
Eeek.
