America's Path To The Third World...

By J.R. Junior

We are on the path to becoming a third world country. Yes, this is a bold prediction, but all the evidence suggests so. The grand idea of capitalism is captivating--and as I have to admit--a necessity in the pursuit of greater technology, including medical advancement and creation of new medications. But since the introduction of oil as a fuel source, the fight has not been to better communities and societies. Oil has only driven the exercise of exploitation for resources. Oil has made it possible to reach any part of the globe in less than a day; we can even leave Earth even quicker for that matter. As power is put into the hands of individuals and corporations whom has the resources to reach and control certain resources of the world, animal instincts take control, and the power and greed consumes them. In combination with democracy, this will be proven to result in a disastrous outcome, since capitalism focuses on profits--and democracy tells us that we can do what we want, when we want, and where we want.

Before NAFTA, goods were manufactured by American companies that operated within American borders, and most of those manufacturing jobs were held by American citizens. Supporters of NAFTA argued that it must be created to expand trade between the North American countries (Canada, Mexico, and the U.S.). This was supposed to increase sales which in turn would make profits larger. And, profits did increase. But, eventually factories moved to Mexico and were imported to the U.S. instead of exported from. Mexican labor is much cheaper, so corporations found they could turn a bigger profit by hiring more workers--increasing production--and, still, maintain a significantly smaller payroll. And by operating outside of the U.S., they do not have to pay specific taxes and fees for regulation and inspection/certification fees. Safety is also not as big of an issue. So, what is lost here? American jobs and federal, state, and local taxes and revenue.

It is now a trend for U.S. based corporations to leave U.S. borders, either by outsourcing jobs oversees or manufacturing products completely outside of the U.S. Take a look at the products you most use day-to-day; your clothes, electronics, etc. are not made in the U.S. even though many of these are made by American companies. This leaves thousands to millions of citizens without work and the opportunity to participate in the great realm of capitalism. People cannot support their families or even themselves. The old saying is true: The rich get richer… The non-rich are, as a whole, getting poorer. So, less homes are bought, less small businesses are started, and tax revenue diminishes.

As taxes paid by the people decrease and dependence on social services increase, funding for those programs across the board suffers. We don’t have money for roads, schools, fire and crime fighting, defense, water, electricity, mail services… The list goes on and on. Some people may say that the “solution” is to privatize it all. Give me a break! If everything is privatized, government as a whole loses all power and the one percent seizes power, and that is the end of our false sense of democracy. Privatization is what got us where we are in the first place. Corporations want to make profits at all costs; actually that’s at “no costs”.

So, as an American, you must decide: Will I compete with the third world and work for a minimal wages (not minimum wage, the most THEY are willing to pay you) or remain unemployed? Will we continue to allow our jobs to be shipped overseas while the quality of life here in our home-country and there decrease? Look what is happening… States are broke. We have the biggest deficit in American history. Companies have been bailed out. Banking institutions and Wall St. are now thriving. Production has increased. Profits are up. Americans are still unemployed. Enough money is not put back into the American economy. People and corporations no longer pay taxes and this is not enough to maintain an economical balance.

Pretty soon the U.S. corporations will no longer need Americans for them to thrive. The world market is much larger, and there are a lot more people to exploit. That is why corporations are push to “spread democracy” to the many countries elsewhere. Americans will be reduced to rummaging through dumpsters to find food and clothing that was thrown away by the slave-wage workers who are employed by capitalism’s big wigs. The government will depend on those same companies for kickbacks.

The roles will be changed. Large corporations will not look towards their respective government for bailouts. The government will search for large corporations to bail IT out (just ignore the Federal Reserve for now…). Then, like all of the countries you know nothing about that are being used by corporations to turn a profit, the USA will stand in line to be raped… Right now, she is walking alone through the dark, empty ally. So, go ahead and privatize to finally realize that we will be run by the one percent who monopolize… Wake up And Smell The B.S. Otherwise, deal with smelling the piles of trash, hazardous materials, and decomposing bodies just outside your front door… if you can afford one.

Here is yet another video that should spark your interests. This video, in a school child age nut-shell, just explained what J.R. just said. Watch this video!!! This video has been the subject of conservative talk radio and TV with the guise of: Indoctrination of our children.

Let me ask all of you a question. If someone, maybe a teacher or parent, told you how things worked in the world and gave you every tool and opportunity to help change or fix it would you? Or would you be like everyone else and demand from your parents the latest clothes, shoes and gadgets that we want and really don't need? Know your sub-conscious answer, how could you then call the people who are actually trying teach our children indoctrinators. This is starting to sound like my Obama's school speech article.

So then let me digress. Big business works because little people don't understand it. That lack of understanding lets big business do what anything they want to the little people, because the little people not only don't understand it, but want to be told how to spend there hard earned money. Now the dilemma: Big business took all the jobs away and we are now in a recession. But we still spend our money the same exact way. That is why the rich get richer and the poor get poorer.

If you watch the video, it explains how we outsource our "resources" and turn other countries into third worlds. That cycle does and will come around.

The question is: Are you going to let your kids learn how to fix it?
