Who's screwed? The American worker. Our economy is infected with joblessness - yet America's so-called "job creators" - some of the biggest corporations in the country - aren't putting Americans back to work. Instead, they're putting Chinese and Mexicans to work. According to a new report by the Wall Street Journal - corporate giants: General Electric - Caterpillar - Microsoft - Wal-Mart - Chevron - Cisco - Intel - Stanley Works - Merck - United Technologies - and Oracle...all American corporations - have fired 2.9 million American workers since 2001 - then hired more than 2.4 million workers overseas.
This isn't a coincidence - these guys actually have an annual conference about how to outsource American jobs more efficiently. Like in 2009 - when American corporations gathered together for the 2009 Strategic Outsourcing Conference - where 57% of executives there bragged that since the Great Bush Recession - they've increased the number of American jobs they're shipping overseas. So here we have so-called American corporations - that are paying hardly any American taxes - and hiring hardly any American workers.
I think there's a suitable word to describe some of these CEOs who are turning their backs on our country in its time of need...traitors.
