How Well-Educated, Hard-Working Americans are Treated in America

We should, if we have the time and the ability, make our way to Pittsburgh for the meeting of the G-20 this week rather than do what the power elite is hoping we will do—stay home. Complacency comes at a horrible price.”

-Chris Hedges


How Well-Educated, Hard-Working Americans are Treated in America

(Click here for Rennie Sawade's heartbreaking article at WashTech)

Pittsburgh, PA – As Globalization Goes Bankrupt, Chris Hedges explains how elite power brokers at the G-20 Summit this week are hoping that Americans will just stay home and not protest the for-profit, wholesale sell out of our jobs. “Our global economy, like our political system, has been hijacked by a tiny oligarchy, composed mostly of wealthy white men who serve corporations”, and Hedges says we are running out of time. America's hubris-diseased corporate “thought leaders” and their go-to politicians with their go-to donors wildly profit from the legalized hiring of H-1B visa and green card holders designed to discriminate against educated Americans under the Great Labor Shortage Lie. It is the American middle-upper middle class demographic that these smug, self-defined “best and brightest” are threatened by both for professional and financial reasons. After all, why in the world would a smug executive want to be one-upped in a meeting by some dreadfully smart peer who understands the nature of the work, how the option printing press/accounting works and the language? Why not labor arbitrage American white collar compensation down to third world levels here by just kicking these excessive and overeducated locals to the curb and import cheap, dubiously skilled labor from abroad, instead?

As WashTech's Rennie Sawade notes:

Many American IT workers are being forced out of their careers, while corporations continue to offshore jobs and hire non-immigrant guest workers on corporate Visas, such as the H-1B and L-1.”

Where is the liberal Left to protest? Two recent age discrimination suits against AT&T and Hillary Clinton highlight America's corporate and political anti-local educated worker cleansing program that has been sanctioned and enabled by some of the most high-profile and beloved Democratic politicians who, to the disappointment of many - have along the way pledged their support for such disastrous visa programs from the Clintons to Gore to Obama. How could this be? Isn't the Democratic party supposed to be the party that cherishes the welfare of our citizens? YES! Corporate welfare, that is, as one need look no further than the ream job this current Democratic POTUS is hustling for his insurance and tech lobby cronies and donors under the banner of “health care reform.” Obama's health insurance “reform” is nothing but an insurance and tech industry pay day for these medical leeches that forces a fine (tax) on this endangered species known as America's educated middle class.

Recall Obama's health care speech, when he truly revealed his contempt for this educated middle class demographic. He said that his plan targeted middle-upper middle class Americans who “game the system” - by not purchasing bogus, unaffordable insurance plans with exorbitant out of pocket expenses that cap and deny them coverage anyway – plans that are responsible for forcing this demographic who have even bought insurance into bankruptcy, anyway! Who exactly does Obama represent?

All hail the hubris! Let's hope Obama's crooked insurance plan “reform” that includes mandatory purchases and fines also includes mandatory treatment to reform the diseased hubris class that defines this bipartisan, one big party of hustlers and their media sycophants hopped up on sociopathic, mean and gre$n scams.
