9 States of Unemployment
OFFLINE

Posted On 05/19/2010 16:49:38 by CrockPotPatty
There are at least 45 million people unemployed in the United States. While Wall Street and people who have no understanding of the incredible problem facing the United States, a voice in the wilderness needs to be heard.

North Korea suffered the greatest famine and 3 million people died. That was considered a large number of people. Compare that to 45 million.

Napoleonic Wars took the lives of 6,500,000. Compare that to 45 million.

Korean War took the lives of 3,500,000. Compare that to 45 million.

The Crusades called for the death of 2,000,000. Compare that to 45 million.

Bosnia crimes took 8,000. Compare that to 45 million.

Nazi genocide took 11,000,000. Compare that to 45 million.

Famine in Cambodia took 3,000,000. Compare that to 45 million.

Peoples Republic of China Famine caused the death of 43,000,000. Compare that to 45 million.

Aztecs sacrificed a total of 1,200,000. Compare that to 45 million.

King Leopold II of Belgium killed 10,000,000 Africans. Compare that to 45 million.

1. Unbalanced Trade Agreements
I am sure you now have a better understanding of the 9 States of Unemployment. This condition the United States suffers from has been in the making for more than my lifetime. The United States worked hard on the theory of global trade. While allowing incredible amounts of imports and very little exports, we undermined the manufacturing companies here in America.

2. UnderClass Creation
The government did not stop there. They continued with the crusade to save the world impoverished. Little did they know that with global trade also comes the sharing of poverty. We are very much like the third world countries of today. There are only two classes. Rich and working. Middle class is almost extinct.

3. Foreign Banking Practices
World trade required us to dig ourselves deeper and deeper into debt with foreign countries. We then allowed in foreign banks who capitalized on our need to borrow. They exploited the American people just as they do other people in third world countries. High interest and service charges. Inability to pay. Violation of consumer laws. While receiving the support of our local representatives.

4. Low Rate of Employment
World trade also means that we are open to foreign people migrating to our country. Local support for policies that reward employers for hiring foreign workers who qualify as minorities, tax breaks for diversity, and the encouragement to hire based on race with an advantage caused an influx of external competition for jobs.

5. Outsourcing
When the Corporations wanted more profit, they again were supported in exporting jobs to countries whose labor was cheaper. Many of the unskilled working jobs were exported. Call centers, assembly work, manufacturing, and more were traded to outside countries in the name of Globalization without any benefit to the United States.

6. Taxation
Corporations wanted to benefit from Globalization so they were again supported by local representatives. Corporations received large tax breaks while relocating the heart of their business from the United States. When the United States was healthy, almost all taxes came from Corporations. Today Corporations barely contribute.

7. Financial Crisis and Taxation Policies
Some questions about who is responsible for the financial crisis have been asked. No answers to the American people have been given for the large Corporations failure and need for bailouts over and over again. Reagan bailed out the banks in 1984. Bush bailed them out again. Obama repeated the same action. We all know that doing the same thing over and over has the same outcome. Our Representatives have not held anyone accountable for financial crisis that have been a mainstay for government taxation policies.

8. Re-Entry into the Workforce
Where is the workforce?
Recently, I listened to an employed economic commentator on the current situation. He said that people will have to "go back to school and get re-educated" to find new jobs. He also stated that the "younger" generation will be employed while the "older" generation will have to learn new jobs that include the internet, starting your own business, medical coding, or some upcoming field. A rather exclusive perspective.

The commentator failed to explain why 45 million people will have to learn something new. The speaker neglected to address job loss as a failure in government policy, foreign strategy to globalize at a huge job cost to the United States, and a need to produce jobs to sustain economic growth. He spoke of a subclass that is reflected in the recent profitability in Dollar Tree. That is affordable and imported from other countries. There is a connection between foreign globalization dependency strategy and job loss.
It is profitable to keep us unemployed and over taxed.

9. Foreign Influence
Our Local Representative is influenced everyday by foreign powers. It is a global strategy that was implemented by the World Bank many years ago. It is a failed theory. The imbalance of benefits to the United States from Globalization is self evident. While trade is necessary and can be mutually beneficial, the United States has not benefited from the Globalization theory. The United States has traded its wealth for poverty. Its jobs for unemployment. Its banks for foreign debt. So we are the sowers of what we reap. While the local Representatives fail to take responsibility for failed policies, we the American people suffer from it. 45 million of us.

These are the 9 states of unemployment.
309,308,698 Americans. 45,000,000 unemployed.

What has to be done to correct this? Self preservation. We should only import as much as we export so that no one country is at an advantage. We should only have laws that have mutual benefits. If the laws do not mutually benefit the parties, then it is a failed policy. It is a matter of ethical consideration.
