My hubby came home yesterday and asked me guess how much they are paying the Mexicans for our job. I said 25 cents? He said $3.00 a hour. My husband makes around $15.00. I said that's why they are moving.

Years ago my wife worked as a data entry bank employee. She lost her job because the bank found it much cheaper to send the data electronically to India whereby the Indians would do the data entry and send it back at a much cheaper wage!!!!!

truth is, if I was a business owner I would probably do the same thing

you wouldnt last very long in business then rebel....small business is about "profits" and big business is all about "shareholders dividends".

I feel for the folks here losing there job. My hubby has lost 3 jobs from closing. Two I know for cheaper wages. Makes it hard for us to live.

The world is run by the billionaires and big businesses! Even governments are small potatoes to them! One of the American billionaires/
company, name escapes me, will be donating 2 billion to the Republican candidate of their choice in 2015! Same holds true in Canada and everywhere else! MONEY and GREED are the reasons why Africans starve,,,they have the money to feed them but they choose not to! Great people ,,,the human race!...hell they're starving here in my neighbourhood!

CRAZY-HORSE Wrote:big business is all about "shareholders dividends".I agree with most of this post but have a bit of an issue with this--substitute "CEO compensation enhancement" and I'd agree. This most def' includes building share value because most of that C-Suite money comes from buying their own stock on the cheap and selling it dear later. Share value is built in strong part by keeping all costs down ("cost of goods sold" is a vital accounting metric.). Labor is a prime cost. This isn't any kind of moral judgment on my part; just recognizing the world as it is.
Oh, and about private funding for politicos and their minions--in the US, the flood-gates are open. That "splash the cash" bloke may well be Sheldon Adelson (controls most of Macao's gambling or net revenue flow of $36 Billion/year; money well spent to bolster support for Israel). Or maybe the Brothers Koch (huge in commodities and basic industries; trying to bend the US even more strongly right-ward). Thing of it is we may never know all the undercurrent forces because they're newly opaque and even-more unleashed).
