Born and chartered in the U.S.A., these corporations rose to their giant size on the backs of American workers and vast taxpayer-subsidized research and development handouts. When they got into trouble, whether through mismanagement or corruption, these companies rushed to Washington, D.C. for bailouts from American taxpayers. When some were challenged in foreign lands, the U.S. marines came to their rescue, as depicted decades ago by two-time Congressional Medal of Honor winner, Marine General Smedley Butler.
So what is their message to America and its workers now? It is not gratitude or loyalty. It is we are outta here, with your jobs and industries to dictatorial or oligarchic regimes abroad, such as China, that know how to keep their impoverished, and abused workers under control.
