I know I've been pissed off enough with a company to never use their product or service again.




Yeah, sure, I have hard proof...coz all companies post that information publicly All I can say is I've seen it first hand, you can take it or leave it.


If you outsource all the jobs, there'll be no one left to pay taxes...so guess this would be a moot point in your world view.
The employees should remember if it wasn't for the big bad corporation they would be sucking dick on the street corner. It should be a give and take relationship. Unfortunately, the employees eventually think that they started the company and it is now their right to get all of the profits, but shoulder no burden. This is what happened with most of the labor unions. Labor Unions are a huge factor in blue collar jobs LEAVING the USA. Why should a line worker at GM get paid $25 to start?

Hard Proof - I am not seeing any examples. Show me where US corporations are dodging taxes, and at the same time outsourcing jobs overseas, which you see as a bad thing.

Taxes - You did not answer the question. What do you think is a fair amount of tax on profit? What should be done with this tax? Do you favor no taxes if the big bad companies just gave 50% of the profit in a hand out to the employees?

In closing, valuable employess will always be compensated. I have seen it my whole life. Employees that are commodities and can be replaced by Xing Huk in Cambodia will always be disregarded. This is life, and the person allowing themselves to stay in the situation of being someone else's tool needs to reevaluate what they are doing wrong.

This whole discussion is a classic Marxist discussion.
