The root of all that is wrong with the world

1. I like the message of the graphic,

but when we complain about jobs leaving the country, we are basically saying we deserve those jobs more than them.

3. How do you know

that they wanted the jobs to start with?

Western centrist attitude. American exceptionalism at it's best. Many countries were doing just fine without our economic invasion. Have you ever read "Confessions of an Economic Hit Man" ?

7. Many people who live in the geographical location

we call "Mexico" seem to want a job, or at least money. Many take great risks to get the jobs.

8. I wonder how many Zapatistas are in that group?

I think the number would be very small, if any.

The reason you see what you see is because we have done what we have done in regards to western globalization.

edit - It is a strange idea that we should do more globalization to fix the issues caused by globalization.

10. I have no idea how many Zapatistas are in that group.

Your guess seems reasonable to me, but I don't know.

It is a strange idea that we should do more globalization to fix the issues caused by globalization.

I think the issue is caused by capitalism.

[PowerToThePeople]

11. "I think the issue is caused by capitalism"

I think you are correct.

14. They used to have land that grew good corn.

5. We do deserve them.

Built here for here. Built here to trade equally. Lift all boats with a rising tide.

The current strategy is to sink all boats with a global tsunami of profit for the few.

9. Why is "here" here?

Bureaucracy can be a very handy tool, but why should it divide us into groups, such as "Americans" or "Mexicans?"

The current strategy is to sink all boats with a global tsunami of profit for the few.

Looks that way to me too.

17. You don't want American labor building products for American consumption?

[ZombieHorde]

18. No, I don't.

I want human labor building products for human consumption. Geographical-based identities just seems to lead to mistreatment of our fellow humans. The social construct of countries can be very convenient, but the cons seem to outweigh the pros.

2. I agree, and we all know who the biggest promoters of that idea is too.

Yet most of us still buy into their teachings.

4. most lives matter less than a few.

That would be my edit.

I'm betting that within the cliques of the .01% many would cast 2/3 of their "friends" into the pool. We've come full circle once again, the very elite and everyone else. Everyone else being not a member of the top 100 families.

6. Cain answered, “I know not; am I my brother's keeper?”

[Jamaal510]

12. That doesn't sound

farfetched at all when you look at how much money is dumped into wars versus programs like public education and health care, and how some people in power (Republicans) have been hesitating to raise the minimum wage and strengthen environmental standards.

13. Yes, the concept of equality is a value on the left and hated on the right. nt

[AngryDem001]

15. I disagree.

The root of all that is wrong with the world is GREED and the love of MONEY.

16. Were it not for war and greed.

And if the hoarders would stop hoarding we could ALL have jobs & things.
