'The Dow is at a record high and so are
corporate profits – so why does it feel like most of the country is
deeply suffering right now? Real household income is the lowest that
it has been in a decade, poverty is absolutely soaring, 47 million
Americans are on food stamps and the middle class is being
systematically destroyed.
How can big corporations be doing so well
while most American families are having such a hard time? Isn’t their
wealth supposed to “trickle down” to the rest of us? Unfortunately,
that is not how the real world works. Today, most big corporations are
trying to minimize the number of “expensive” American workers on their
payrolls as much as they can.
If the big corporation that is employing
you can figure out a way to replace you with a worker in China or with a
robot, it will probably do it. Corporations are in existence to
maximize wealth for their shareholders, and most of the time the largest
corporations are dominated by the monopoly men of the global elite.'
