Yes, a Vietnamese company recently opened up a big rice-paddy area near my house where they are employing hundreds of union workers from the Rural Peasants Local 375 to work the land by hand.

I must confess it's strange to see Westerners wearing those big round hats, and some of them have trouble squatting properly to plant the rice but I think it's great that they are participating in this onshoring movement.

Default This is the FRUIT of Smaller government and an unregulated free market...

The greedy manufacturers and "conservative" politicians who opened the door for them by offering them tax cuts to move our jobs off shore have done as much as the mortgage companies and the bankers did to destroy our economy.

Lets all keep in mind what party supports "corporate interests" as we head out to the polls this year...

Bring our jobs back!

Would that be the Democratic and Republican branches of the Corporate Party?

What do I win?

People are getting educated for nothing. Corporate leaders blame the universities for not providing qualified graduates. Both sides win i.e., the universities and the corporations. Many of the average people lose out.

I hate to break it to you, but BOTH the major parties on the American political landscape support corporate interests whole heartedly: Democrats and Republicans. I call them Republicrats.

Any other party that might contain candidates that actually CARE about the middle class are routinely ignored by the American sheeple. Nobody from a third party has EVER won ANY substantial office in decades and decades, if ever.

It's a Republicrat nation where the politicians are all about making the CORPORATIONS who throw dollars at them happy.

This is not a democracy anymore. It is a totalitarian corpocracy.

Actually I believe the US exports rice, and has done so for some time.
