CEOs, Corporate Lobbyists, Sinking Wages, and Disappearing Benefits
08 Feb 2011 | Category: uncategorized | Author: admin
So often people are quick to blame corporations and high-paying CEOs for any and all negative trends in the United States. Often they go so far as to blame capitalism itself. Generally these folks are socialists or have socialist leanings from an extreme liberal skew. They will often slide into conversations jabs at Corporate America and give away their negative view of capitalism and our current system. Recently an admitted Democrat Liberal stated:
"As far as corporate America, providing a higher profit for the company and that is why the stock market is higher suggesting a robust economy while wages sink lower and benefits disappear."
Of course we know this is only one side of the argument, as there is a lot more too this. A CEO now retired had a different view and stated that:
"The American work force, does not wish to work hard or be productive. They want more for less without regard to productivity output. They show up do little, pretend to work, half ass effort and then complain and demand more. I will therefore hire robots and send them all home, make my products in China and live well."
He further stated later in the discussion; "Additionally the unions enlist politicians and use underhanded slander tactics on company brand names, sneakily use regulatory bodies to start investigations and attack politicians they choose not to support. They are not market reality based and are not honest in their political endeavors."
In reality both commenters have a point; the far left liberal skew and the retired CEO who we assume is a Republican Hawk. You know it does not matter who started it; that is how the other side feels about it. So this wages "sinking lower and benefits" issue is a two-way street. If we attack CEOs why should they care? The Unions feel under attack and now they do not care or even try. So we need to be careful with such jaded from the liberal skew as such comments are completely one sided and in error of reality. Perhaps everyone should think on this in 2006.
