    Outlook: Outsourcing America's Future By Jodie Allen, Managing Editor, US News & World Report
    Welcome to Capitalism people.: Americans have rabidly supported policies specifically designed to create this outcome for over 20 years, and they're getting what they deserve. Anti-union, anti-living wage, anti-regulation, anti-lawsuit, anti-worker, anti-tax, anti-government, anti-self interest.

    Markets are supposed to function best when all parties pursue their own self interest. When one side (the workers) rolls over, the system breaks down.

    Folks, you knew it was a snake when you picked it up. Capitalism is nice in theory, but it simply does not work without strong governmental oversight to keep it honest.
