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

Mitt Romney wants to send your job to China and if he can’t do that, he wants to bring in cheaper foreign labor to displace you anyway.

While Mitt Romney trudges across Iowa blasting his opponents on illegal immigration, look at how willing he is to labor arbitrage other Americans and increase guest worker Visas! While wages and costs are some of the legitimate concerns on illegal immigration, magically, middle class professionals are perfectly acceptable for displacement!
In a TechCrunch interview Romney declared:
Romney: I like H-1B visas. I like the idea of the best and brightest in the world coming here. I’d rather have them come here permanently rather than come and go, but I believe our visa program is designed to help us solve gaps in our employment pool.
Romney is brazenly ignoring the overwhelming evidence that there is no worker shortage and in fact a glut of American best and the brightest are having their careers decimated by global labor arbitrage.
The interview went on to see if Romney would increase the number of H-1B guest worker Visas.
I would like to see us increase the number of people who receive an H-1B visa and can provide skills and experience that we may not…

Hot off the presses folks!

Yes, that’s right, Mr. Patriotic 9-11 wants to make sure middle class workers are displaced and exposed to labor arbitrage! Aren’t you glad he’s such a loyal American? Loyal to corporations operating in America that is. Look at Rudy Giuliani’s top priority:
Expand the number of H1B Visas for skilled foreign workers to meet market demand
Anyone based in reality would never say the program needs to expand since right now American graduates cannot get a job!
Dr. Harold Salzman, The Urban Institute -
The available data indicate that the United States’ education system produces a supply of qualified STEM graduates in much greater numbers than jobs available.
We just had world leading experts testify before congress proving there is no worker shortage and Americans are being shut out of high quality middle class careers. So Giuliani of course wants to make that situation worse!
Giuliani claims he wants to aggressively push for more bad trade deals and this is his only solution for our trade deficit:
Reduce corporate tax rates and regulatory burden so that Americans can better compete in the global economy.
Oh yes, I’m sure that’s it, has nothing to do with the agreements themselves being written by and for…
