Why are people so upset about InBevs' takeover of Anheuser-Busch?
For years the US has been sending jobs overseas because of the cheap labor. Stockholders and CEO's want huge profit margins so they take the skilled labor in the US and trade it to foreign speaking workers. (Tech-support workers from India are the worst.) InBev is just trying to do what Anheuser-Busch will be trying to do soon. Send work overseas because the labor is cheaper.
America is no longer the mighty power it was back in the 60's and before. Our labor unions have bargained themselves out of the market place. The CEO's, who want to make more money than the next CEO's, are destroying the companies they work for, IE: McDonnell-Douglas, TWA Airlines. The Americans who buy foreign import products because the price is cheaper and quality better. We are all responsible for America's downfall.
Our military is STILL the best on earth and we will defend any country against a foreign agressor. True. But who is the real idiot? You do not see Russia or China or any other country spending billions upon billions of their money to win a police action. And look what it's doing to the USA. Higher taxes, higher fuel prices, higher food prices. We, each and every American, are the ones paying for this.
It's time for us to STOP. Stop the war, stop the greed, stop the frivilous lawsuits, stop the welfare fraud, stop the global warming, stop being the doormat to the world.
The solution to America's problems is simple, not easy.
First, bring all the soldiers back home from around the world. We have enough high-tech spy stuff to monitor trouble spots without putting lives at risk.
Second, seal the borders, use the military from around the world.
Third, verify the citizenship of every single man. woman and child. If you can't produce documentation you are immediately deported to the country of your choice.
Fourth, put a cap of $100,000 on any lawsuit and lawyers get a flat fee not a third of the damages.
Fifth, limit the salary of any CEO, CFO of other company bigwig to 100 time what the lowest paid worker gets.
Sixth, put a cap on all professional sport and entertainment salary at $1,000,000 a year, use the extra funds to give raises to teacher, public servants (fire and police) and the military.
This system would bring about a balance in the economy, lower taxes, and bring America back th the GREAT country she once was. Think of what we all could do with all that extra money floating around.
Thank you and may God bless.
