Why America is Broke

There was a time when the United States was home to major manufacturing companies and factories. There was a time when Americans could easily afford to buy a new car and a home on a single income. There was a time when Americans could have a career and afford all of these things without the ridiculous debt incurred by a college education.
So what happened?
Greed and liberals.

The average Japanese CEO earns 1/6th of a comparable American CEO. In the United States, the shitbag C level executives can draw bigger and bigger paychecks the deeper they drive their companies into debt.
It's amazing. You know what? I could be the perfect American CEO.

Pick a company. Any company. I guarantee you that I could call a few friends and we could burn through every dime in that company in less than 30 days.

I guarantee it.
Hookers.
Drugs.
Booze.
Vegas.
Repeat until money's all gone.

As these fuckbags became greedier and greedier, they began outsourcing job functions and manufacturing to foreign countries.

But then again, can you blame them?

Enter the shitball labor unions. Yeah I know, the bleeding hearts will tell you that it's because of unions that we have the 5 day, 40 hour work week.
Great!
Guess what fuckbags? Nobody works only 40 hours a week anymore!!
Well, except for the dickbag union members and the government...oh yeah, they're union too. Your tax money at work.
Fuckbags.

Most everyone I know with any sort of professional career works 50, 60 hours a week or more and sometimes 7 days a week. But these people are salaried. They don't get overtime, they don't get time an a half.

There may have been a time when labor unions were needed, but it wasn't in my lifetime so I don't give a fuck. Some piece of shit with no job skills does not deserve $35 an hour to put a bolt on a fucking car.

Period.

If you have some kind of goddamn outrageous marketable skill such as the ability to perform brain surgery or to make companies a shit ton of money, then fine, you deserve to get paid well.
But if you're a lazy fuckbag who wants to sit on his fat ass and work at the DMV taking driver's license photos, take your smoke break every 30 minutes then you deserve minimum wage because what you do isn't any more important and doesn't require any more skill than what teenage kids do when they work at fast food joints.

They make minimum wage.

That's why we don't make anything in this country any more and the what we do make is either absolute crap or extremely overpriced when compared to the imported competition. We have overpaid monkeys who can't think and aren't paid to do so assembling the few mass produced products still made here in the US of A.

The artisan, handmade products we make here are still wonderful quality, but those products are generally out of my price range. But they are nice to look at.

Now, think about this: if the C-level  executive pay directly correlated to how much profit a company made, don't you think we'd be in a much better position?
If the company doesn't make money, guess what shitbag CEO? Neither do you!

We also need to make it more expensive to send business overseas. Make it so expensive that American companies will want to keep jobs here. That's what other countries do.

Now, the free market types will argue that my ideas go against the free market, and they'd be right. So in a free market or any economy for that matter, I'm going to buy what gives me the most value for my money. 9 times out of 10, that means imported.
I drive a Japanese car. My home is full of Japanese and Chinese electronics. I had stir fry for dinner.

I give fuck all where my products are made and to be honest, I don't care if my stuff was made in a sweat shop. Sweat shops are only wrong because American society deem them to be wrong. Obviously not everyone agrees or else they wouldn't exist.
Kind of like slavery or indentured servitude. Not everyone finds it morally wrong.

Combine our crappy products with inflation (also due to government and corporate greed), and you have a broken broke ass company...er...country.

We still have the best economy of all the broke ass economies.
It's kind of like being on top of the shit pile or being the smartest kid in the slow class or being the skinniest kid at fat camp.

America! Fuck yeah!
