Having sat in numerous board rooms, I can assure you that Harry is
right, for once. Since 2007, some American companies feel that they
cannot secure viable workers without breaking the economic back,
security, and spirit of the American worker. Their goal is lower
wages, no health care costs, no retirement costs, and an education
level restricting the worker to a particular socioeconomic class.

They are actively seeking social change to effect these ends and you
should be just as afraid of them as you seem to be of Alinsky. They
are just as screwed up.

Sounds more like excuses for being under employed or unemployed than
reality. You have to remember that the competitive climate in
corporations has changed dramatically in the past decade. China (and
other countries) can produce products at a tenth of the cost of an
American manufacturer and in order to stay in business the American
manufacturer has to either cut costs or join the bandwagon and
outsource their manufacturing.

American consumers have demonstrated that they prefer the lower costs
and abundance of products made in China or elsewhere. I can't
understand how people can expect wage and benefit packages that are 10
times (or more) than that paid by the competition.
