>I agree that corporate greed is the real problem. I worked my way up
from an operator trainee on 3 system/38's to be a project leader in the
programmer department of my old company I worked at. This after 3 years
in fast food trying to do my AA degree at night. I planned to work and
retire there, and a few LBO's later, me and 8 others are booted and the
headquarters moved.
>
>The programming was outsourced too. So I am with Alex. I got lucky, I
work now in the insurance industry and this small company is strong. On
year 9 now. I hope it will last as long as possible.
>
>As a father of two sons, I am discouraging them from the computer
field, why waste their time in a market constantly shipping jobs
overseas? People who keep saying it is a "world economy" and everyone
should get with the program. I say they are have lost sight of what it
means to be American in America. Screw NAFTA and the United North
America crap. That is exactly what it is, crap. When you put another
country or $$$ before the patriotism, you have lost your way.
>
>Americans come first, why, because we are in America. Care for your
brothers and sisters in this country should come first: "We the People
of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish
Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence,
promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to
ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution
for the United States of America."
>
>Nowhere does it say we have to take jobs from our people [Americans]to
give to everyone else and be caretaker for every other backwater country
on this planet. Listen to Lou Dobbs on CNN. At least someone
represents the middle class. No one else does.
