What we are dealing with here is something America hasn’t experienced since 1983. A recent labor analysis has dropped a stat that makes you really think about how bad things really are. Only 46 % of the American population has a job, and things aren’t looking better, they are looking worse. I feel there are many reasons for this that might take you by surprise, corruption by the International Corporate Mafia is the main reason, other more inauspicious reasons also come to mind.
General Motors in India pay their people between 47cents and 97cents per hour to work at their plants. They are the fifth largest auto manufacturer in India, manufacturing around 370,000 autos annually with around 4,000 employees. Ford also has a facility there as well. India sold 2.7 million cars in 2010; a 31 percent increase from previous period, a huge increase. Between all the manufacturers commercial and civilian combined from around the world. Obviously, because of the pathetic pay General Motors are paying the workers in India, you can start to see what the hell the Americans are up against.
Using the auto manufacturing analogy only for purposes of demonstration is best because it basically shows us the real meat of the problem we are up against. Whether it is caterpillar tractors, media conglomerates, clothing, almost everything you can think of, now is manufactured or produced in India.
Workers in India are working for such low wages its obvious why manufactures have left our shores. All of the above basically applies to China as well; just using India because China is so damn large it makes a good comparison. China in 2010 sold 17.2 million autos, also up 30% from the previous period. A huge difference, just goes to show you how much manufacturing power China has.
America manufactured 12.3 million autos for 2010, an 11% increase from the past 4 years. Before the economic disaster we were selling 16.8 million a year.
Other reasons such as electronic gadgets as the iPad come to mind. This little device has managed to relieve us of ever having to buy a newspaper, a magazine, a good book from a book store, going out to watch a good movie or soon even text books for school. How many jobs do you think this device had killed? The damn thing isn’t even made in the United States, it’s made in China! Computerized robots that help build autos on assembly lines at auto manufacturing plants, helping with steel plant production, cutting wood at lumber mills and on and on and on…
This combined with the corporate traitors looking for a fast buck by off shoring jobs and cash giving us the death nail has helped ruin our country. You can start to see why now the “New World Order” started by George Soros and his traitorous buddies in the “Corporate Mafia World” have to be dealt with. Their plan is obviously trim the fat from the population, eliminating us from the face of the planet for their own greed. There are just too damn many of us and that is not good for their agenda.
Americans must find ways to come together and re-establish these jobs that have not only left our shores, but also dealing with the job killers such as all of these damn computerized robots. We need to find ways for all of us to work, not sit on a corner with a tin cup begging for handouts. We have become so goddamn efficient that we have dug ourselves into a hole with shear sides with no foot holds. The answer isn’t just going to college and to get an education. People have already been doing that with nothing but a piece of paper in their hands and no job; it’s a hell of a lot more than that believe me.
The next president of the United States of America will be a hero to the American people if he or she can actually bring these jobs back to our shores, eliminating the all of this unnecessary grief and anger building up, that undoubtedly will do nothing but turn this nation into a mass battle field, full of detainment camps and grave yards. These idiots we have now in office don’t understand or have any idea what kind of harm they have slopped onto the American people and unless there are changes, all hell is going to break loose.
I’m afraid all of these wealthy talking heads such as Donald Trump, Mitt Romney, etc. are just that, a talking head. I wouldn’t trust any of them at a time such as this. What is needed is somebody that probably is sitting on a street corner somewhere holding a tin cup, who used to have a $170,000.00 a year job, who is shaking in his boots from anger. Somebody who knows what really needs to be done to get America back under honest management.
The American people are currently a boiling cauldron ready to blow, and when she blows the American leaders are not going to be able to hide behind the United States Military, that’s just a fact. People within the ranks are just as pissed as everybody else, they have families too.
Good article, Mark. Thank you.
This is a fantastic article, thank you for telling it like it is. I was surprised that only 46% of Americans have jobs, I thought it was about 75% since I’ve heard the real unemployment number is 25% unemployed (including people no longer able to collect unemployment). So what am I missing?
Thank you for all the great statistics! What you said is so true, an education is not going to fix it. This whole thing about retraining so you can get a job is a joke.
Is this the america our goverment wants?Millions of americans in proverty.It looks that way.Because they are not doing a thing about it.As gas prices keep going up and everything else with it .THE numbers of people in proverty will increse.It looks like the oil campanies are running america.High gas prices in the U.S is a bunch of bull.This all started in 1974 with the gas shortage.
