Since this country (and the people of this country) helped them become successful, they should certainly return the favor by investing back into this country, and those citizens. But they don't. They screw us by taking jobs overseas to cheaper labor markets, and they move their offices offshore so they get out of paying taxes, and they get subsidies from the government to offset things that, really, THEY should be paying for, not our taxes, and they quit paying for benefits for their employees, and all the other tricks of the trade they use to get out of giving back.

And you know, if wages had kept up with the cost of living, this wouldn't be as much of an issue as it is. But they haven't. Millions of people today are living on LESS than people lived on during the 70s. Pathetic. And we expect them to be able to afford isurance?
Ummmmmmmmmmmmmm.... I no longer give a shit. Everyone needs to feel the pain. Everyone needs to pay.
