But unregulated Capitalism is a bad thing that leads to exploitation of the lower and middle classes and destruction of the environment. That is why we need strong government regulation.
When corporations make all-time record profits due to outsourcing then we need to make sure a portion of those profits benefit the people here who are the victims of outsourcing.
Okay, so vague references to communism/socialism with no specifics.
This is what drives me insane about liberals. They put policies in place that hurt companies profits (wages, benefits, taxes, EPA regulations) and then are somehow shocked that companies respond to those policies by either closing down factories, laying people off, cutting hours, or outsourcing jobs, and then claim that we need to do something else.
WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING! That's the mantra of liberals. Do something. Doesn't matter what or what the consequences are.
