[Dems2008] It will take political courage that no politician has

when a pol has the courage to tell factory workers who do work that a
sixth-grader could perform that henceforth they will be paid on the same
wage scale on which we pay public school teachers, s/he will have my
vote.

We consumers make choices every day that include a decision whether a
lower-priced import offers us better value than domestically produced
products (why else are all those lead-paint toys coming here?)

Why is a corporation however forbidden to bid on lower-cost labor
wherever it can find it?

Double standards are one of our specialties in this country.

Ford has said it will invest $2 billion in Central America in the next
couple years. A consortium of energy companies has on the drawing
board a $5-7 billion refinery that it will put into one of three as-yet
undetermined Central American countries in the next couple years.
Meanwhile, American workers bitch and bitch and bitch about the fact
that their annual trip to Vegas and their summer cottage at the lake may
be in jeopardy by their jobs being exported.
