Tapping into billionaire

Tapping into billionaire accounts won't solve our problems. We need another Boston Tea Party and this time we throw all the cheap foreign goods, that are shipped over here, while our disadvantaged maufacturers move over there........ Throw out these unfair trade agreements intended to undermine American labor...... But I am afraid people you think are Americans, are traitors........ They'll sell out there neighbors, for a buck in savings and then ask; "why they dont have a retirement?" ..... We have a Congress who sold us out; by abdicating the power entrusted to them to do OUR WILL by giving FAST TRACK authority to the President, so the people could have NO DIRECT control over their future. Unless we force an end to this designed undercutting of American wages, we are doomed....... Yet there is no movement on that front, while the traitors, slip the leg irons on us.

In reply to The systemic plight of labor

From the link:

Friedman quote: ...this world will be a challenge because the walls, ceilings and floors that protected people are also disappearing. That is what I mean when I say “it is a 401(k) world.” ....

This manages to be both incomprehensible and incredibly offensive at the same time. I have no idea what Friedman thinks he’s talking about when he blathers on about disappearing protective floors; I can only hope that he isn’t making a super-tasteless reference to the recent disaster in Bangladesh......

Friedman is always writing about how you, your kids and grandma/pa are on their own.

The view from Friedman Hill is that tapping into the bank accounts of billionaires is never envisioned as part of any future policy to meet the needs of workers/the poor/children, or the nation as a whole.
