Tapsearch Com EditorFree Trade Crisis and Goverment Workers
Ray Tapajna
How can anyone expect economic recovery in any society if the public sector government workers make twice as much as workers in the private sector - How many private sector workers does it take to support one government worker ?
In the private sector, it takes about $500,000 in sales to provide for one $50,000 a year job.
It then takes about 50 of these workers an average of $1,000 in taxes to pay for one public government sector worker. But, most workers in the inner cities make much less than $25,000 a year and so they are unable to pay for teachers and government workers who make twice as much as they do. So there is no way of resolving the economic crisis without restoring the living wage jobs we once enjoyed in the USA.
None of this is reported. The main cause of our economic crisis is free trade which is not really trade but the "commoditizing" of workers in a global economic arena. There is a vast disparity in the incomes, pensions etc. between public workers and the private workers sector because of it. And the public workers jobs are protected with them being closer to the political powers than private sector workers are.
This disparity can not continue if we ever want to restore our economy. Public workers can not make 2 to 3 times more than the people they serve and expect anything good to come from it. It is also obvious, they more protected against the negative effects of free trade than the private sector workers whose value has been radically deflated. And it is obvious that Obama's cart before the horse economy will never work. Sadly, much of this remains untold. The terms NAFTA, GATT, CAFTA and the WTO that represent everything that is wrong with the Free Traders controlling both parties , are missing from our vocabulary. President Obama bails out Free Trade without revealing the causes of our economic mess. o
It is a "plantation owner" mentality.
