The economic and social welfare of the United States Government is an extremely vital part of both its existence and stability. As it is for all countries. Most businesses and governments form contracts and are involved in negotiations that allow them to coexist together. This allows for both employment for the people, income for the company and whatever agreement that was made for the country.
But one must accept the fact that much of the production of contemporary products are built abroad. This takes away jobs from the American workers and gives it directly to the workers abroad. Most American companies have many investments in overseas operations. Such as in third world countries like Vietnam, and it serves both governments to continue with it in that manner.
But one can’t help themselves but to ask what the true nature of abroad investing and uprooting companies from America is. I am sure it has nothing to do with the kindness of their hearts. It probably has more to do with allowing the rich to get richer and finding "loop holes" in which they can do that.
The American worker in Detroit, Michigan suffers when companies such as, GM or Ford uproot their businesses and go to Vietnam or another third world countries and get the labor for one tenth of the cost that would be expected and demanded in the United States of America. And under these new working conditions, the companies no longer have to be concerned with labor unions, working conditions or the amount of time that they demand their workers to work.
It’s an absolute dream come true for these companies. As a result their profits are higher and those at the top of the company can "rake" in the money. So I can sympathize with those who point out that the United States is nothing more than an Imperialistic society that is interested in only the middle class and the upper class. From the lower class perception of things, they might as well be living in a dictatorship. For many of their thoughts and views are dismissed by the middle and upper class that rule this country.
Has the Unites States become so Imperialistic that it has turned its back on humanity all together? Maybe it’s true when they say that money makes the world go around. I was always told that love made the world go around, and yet most people will probably tell you that they don’t even know what love is.
