Since the beginning of time, man has figured out ways to invent tools, to do more work, with less effort.

Many people thought the industrial revolution would destroy the middle class, because things like textiles, machine tools and glass, could be made faster with much less labor.

It used to take one person 3 days to sew one shirt, then, with a machine, that same person could make 10 shirts per hour, prompting economists to speculate that such efficiency would cost millions of jobs, and focus all the wealth to industrialists.

It did just the opposite - and the cheap products meant everyone could afford new clothes, glass bottles, and a new car.

Outsourcing also enhances productivity by freeing Americans from mundane, low paying tasks, like making toasters, or T shirts, freeing the labor force to grow the economy.

And even under the Obama, and even despite all the outsourcing, the economy continues to grow

So why are "progressives" so frightened of the future, and why do they cling to the past, and preserving old, obsolete industry?

Using leftist logic, when the great sailing ships of hundreds of years ago were on their way out courtesy of better technology / ideas, government should have stepped in to "save" the jobs of the shipmakers. There's a particularly peculiar leftist around her recently named jesus something who is obsessed with fast food jobs being shipped to India. The only logical conclusion is that there are many "Help Wanted" signs at restaurants near his crib and it's a defense mechanism against him getting off of his duff and working at one of them.

i'm an gifted on brainwashing techniques and the conservative propaganda computer is expert at utilising those innovations to income help. Buzz words have extra magnitude than human beings completely carry close. additionally they spark off black or white thinking via providing purely 2 sides instead of a clever in between. They represent the liberals as being a special and predefined approach that's maximum effectual undesirable and the conservatives the equivalent way obtain relatively. It will become us against them and conservatives are unwilling to compromise for the reason that they think that liberals are all undesirable and that even agreeing with them on absolutely everyone situation means that that predicament have have been given to be evil if liberals settle for as authentic with it. the plain is that conservatives evaluate that liberals choose human beings to take a seat down around and assemble welfare while certainly that's no longer authentic. we ought to start up an further welfare to artwork like what Clinton did yet first there must be jobs. you need to be brainwashed like all of them are, and extra than a number of alternative liberals are brainwashed too. even even with the undeniable fact that, it conservatives tend to be extra non secular which makes them extra in hazard of being brainwashed.

They are sending the jobs overseas. That is why unemployment is at nearly 10%. That is also why I say screw their tax cuts.
