So, we are seeing some further shifting numbers in the "Great Recession". The recession is seeming to be getting worse. Today the stock market plummeted further and we have many people looking for work (cities like Santa Ana CA. have an unemployment rate of 10% right now).
By now, we all know someone that has been laid off or is currently looking for work. Let's get real; don't we really have a better way of doing things? Can't companies (especially large corporations i.e. Apple) be given tax incentives to bring more jobs back to the united states?
When will things change... Can't we realize that more and more people are living in poverty, while we have a continued shrinking middle-class?
I recommend you see an eye-opening movie called "Death By China" narrated by Martin Sheen (you can catch it on Netflix). The movie addresses how large corporations are sending manufacturing jobs abroad and how many things we buy today are from China. Oh yeah, do you remember NAFTA? If you don't then Google it!
Some last words: Think about where your purchases were made from now on and who you want to support. Would you like to see your brother or sister with a job instead of someone else in another country? Check the label before buying things or simply walk into a local store or go to your friends website to buy things... (instead of supporting a large corporation i.e. Wal-Mart/Target).
