The stock market will remain at record profit levels even though workers cannot afford to buy the products they produce.
After Tn. governor Haslam spoke to (threatened) the workers that if they Unionized, VW would produce their new line of SUV's in Mexico the Union vote (barely) failed.
In Tn., Union is a despicable word. Workers should earn shit wages and benefits so the stock holders can make huge profits.
Of course, while Social security is taxed as wages, dividends are barely taxed...woohoo.
Another win for the corporatists who are destroying America.
While the wealthy are renouncing their citizenship in record numbers, we poor Americans must go down with the ship.
At least the wealthy that remain will have more power and wealth than imaginable... those (very many) that leave will still get their profits, just not the (small) taxes that go with them. They will be in Europe getting universal health care (much better care) and living where even workers get paid sick leave, paid vacations, universal health care, etc.. The Americans who have moved there are paying taxes for those benefits, they just didn't want to pay American income taxes also. They did not benefit from the (non-progressive) income taxes they had to pay to a country that ranks less than most 3rd world countries on the expensive services offered. They chose countries where most services are socialized, most jobs are Unionized and they pay progressive taxes to live there. Why couldn't America do that?
This reminds me of (wealthy) rats fleeing a sinking ship. Just like in Hitler controlled Germany. Those who couldn't afford to leave were killed or scarred for life.
Heil Corporatists.
