John McCain Insults Michigan with Offshore Outsourcing Ousted CEO Carly Fiorina

January 14th, 2008 · 9 Comments

There is no job that is America’s God-given right anymore - Carly Fiorina, Jan. 7, 2004, CEO Hewlett-Packard

McCain Shoves Outsourcing Corporate Agenda Down Michigan's throatJohn McCain has one hell of a rude attitude toward Michigan.  McCain is campaigning with Ms. No American has a God given right to a Job ex-CEO of Hewlett Packard Carly Fiorina.  Fiorina promoted offshore outsourcing, fired people right and left, turned Hewlett Packard into a shadow of it’s former glory right in the middle of the last economic recession. 

 Turn to today, Michigan has been decimated by offshore outsourcing, insourcing, insane trade agreements and CEOs who obtain obscene amounts of money for running their companies into the ground, making bad mergers and laying off their workers.  So, what does McCain do?  Try to sell them on the corporate agenda claiming it’s tough talk.  No McCain, it’s the corporate agenda and not policies for the interests of workers, Michigan or the United States of America.

No Corporate Agenda as the Economic AgendaIf it isn’t insulting enough to see a Politician campaign with one of the shining examples of what is wrong with the United States economy - greedy, power driven, short sighted CEOs who have no loyalty to America, their companies or their workers, we get additional propaganda claiming destroying companies right and left is…

John McCain Is Not Your Friend

January 6th, 2008 · 2 Comments

John McCain is not your friend.  He’s not anyone’s friend when it comes to the Corporate global agenda. From this interview, McCain proclaims:

Look, globalization is the answer….

Below is a MTV interview where McCain answers questions on outsourcing and immigration - my apologies for the length and ad, MTV controls their clips; after the ad, go at least to the midway point of the video

Look at this answer from McCain:

I’m not going to bring jobs back to United States

So, people with top tier Masters degrees, PhDs and Bachelors degrees should be retrained? Isn’t that the ultimate insult?  It is jobs which require high skills, advanced college degrees, which are going offshore or being insourced through guest worker Visas.  So, McCain is advocating sending the most educated people in the world to community college instead of dealing with the realities of differing wages between nations?
Even more showing on how out of touch he is, McCain claims:

50k people make a living from Ebay

Is he kidding me, selling your junk on Ebay is going to replace a 100k job?  That’s going to pay for health care, retirement, your children?  

For shame on McCain!

McCain warning
On China’s violation of human rights? McCain says:

Well, one, I…

The Great Lobbyists’ Propaganda Machine

January 2nd, 2008 · 4 Comments

Intel Evil InsideIntel corporation is laying people off.  That’s right, while Craig Barrett, Intel CEO, writes in the Washington Post yet another propaganda piece trying to scare Americans by claiming if the United States does not import massive cheap labor, we will fail economically, Intel is busy thrashing their workforce.

No one pointed out that Intel has been in the midst of some major downsizing. From Intel’s Form 10-K annual report, at the end of Dec 31, 2005 they had 99,900 employees.   By Dec 2006 they had 94,100 and now according to Barrett it has 86,000.

The downsizing was announced sometime last year and the plan is to cut 10,000 workers.
Manufacturing Consent
Barrett has some chutzpah talking about shortages, but then the global wage arbitrage agenda to ultimately repress wages so workers are glorified consumer slaves knows no bounds.

The Washington Post, where the wife of Bill Gates sits on the board, buried a factual retort from John Miano via a Letter to the editor:

The Blue Card that Mr. Barrett said would mean that the “next Silicon Valley will not be in the United States” does not even exist. It is just a proposal by the E.U. bureaucracy. Because this proposal would require the approval of all E.U. members, it is unlikely…
