We are obviously a country with many stupid and non-caring people waiting for government to dictate our lives. "Sheep" we are.

many of us are so busy raising a family, dealing with health challenges, or simply not able to understand the complexities of daily life. we're scared but have a feeling of helplessness. i worry but i don't know what to do.
ITSMEE, wishes she was smarter and had more time

VERY SIMPLE TO EXPLAIN WE BABY BOOMERS HAVE BEEN BROUGHT UP SINCE THE END OF WW2 TO BELIEVE WHAT YOUR GOVERNMENT TELLS YOU DONOT QUESTION UNCLE SAM HE KNOWS BEST SO TODAY UNCLE SAM IS IN THE POCKETS OF THE GOOD OLE MILITARY INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX SO IF YOU DON'T QUESTION AUTHORITY AND BELIEVE EVERYTHING BIG GOVT. AND BIG BUSINESS TELLS YOU THEN THERE IS NO PROBLEM WITH THE ECONOMY

Why because it is the American way to rip off the US citizen. Why did G E who has over 270,000 employees world wide, who's assets are over $151 billion dollars and last year their net profit was over $5.1 billion dollars and not pay a penny in federal, or state taxes. Answer that question and you will have your answer to your question why are companies moving off shore. Because if they move their operations over seas, they don't have to pay any taxes at all and create more unemployment, but the big thing is they want all the money and not to pay any benefits or taxes or even their debts off and still file for bankruptcy. Is that the American way of doing business, in the old school no, but this is the new Global economy is going. To hell in a hand basket. So there is no surprise there, why companies move off shore, they threaten the US government to move their operations over seas or give them a tax break or not even pay their fair share of taxes. The companies out there make giant mistakes and costly mistakes as well and we the middle class or low income pay for their greed. That is the American way, have some one else pay your way in life. No one is responsible that way and no one person can be blamed. This is what you get when people just vote without seeing the real thing out there. They vote with their eyes closed and figure they would vote for the other person because of what the other party did not do. But wait the fun is about to bust again. The stock market is going to crash even harder this time then in 2008 and then you will think about why people vote for idiots. Hey if Donald Trump and Sara Palin can run for President and when your Republicans insist on Obama to prove his citizenship and his birth certificate when Sara Palin will not prove her education, says so much about "our" politicians. Hey look they are crooks, companies that leave this country should lose their assets and have them frozen and made to pay off all of their debts or else prosecute them. But you will never see that. So good luck trying to find out why companies move out of this country. Let these companies sell their crap over there and not allow their goods here. Maybe that will change things, but not until then.

People just go with the flow and hope things will get better.
