Have to disagree with the points about the american workers demanding too much. The multi million dollar salaries stolen (not earned) by the execs is what's ruining this country. If the company goes under Joe Bluecollar is out of a job while the fatcats get big $$$ severance packages. It takes a heck of a lot of regular employees earning $30,000- $40,000 a year to equal what 1 or 2 of the top leeches make.
And don't tell me the big wheels get to make all the money becuse they went out on a limb starting a company, put the money into it etc. I didn't realize Mr. Harley or Mr Davidson were still alive, yet after having the most profitable year in the companys 100+ year history, the company wanted the employees to give back. Bullsquash. I doubt Mr Remington is alive either.
No workers, no product. No execs, no way to unload said product. Sounds like a team effort to me. Some where along the line the team concept has been replaced with "F" the other guy and grab as much as you can for yourself, by hook or by crook.
Sure if I don't like working for someone else I can always go start my own business.
We'd get far with 250 million one man companies.
