OutsourcingEssay title: OutsourcingA national issue that concerns the American people is our businesses outsourcing and cutting every corner to increase profits not decrease the price we pay for their products.. In the beginning of our proud country’s history a business was started locally, ran locally, and finally sold the best products it could as cheaply as could be possible locally. Today more and more businesses go to other countries so they can get cheaper labor to maximize their profits. They could care less that they are taking away valuable jobs that many Americans desperately need, and they still charge as much as legally possible to make that ever larger profit.
Rockefeller of Standard Oil believed that the purpose of a monopoly is not only to make a higher profit but to provide the best and cheapest product possible to the consumer. We have virtually no monopolies that exist today and yet necessary products cost more and more. These are not products that we want and could live without but products that we need. Such as soda, candy, and junk food. It does not matter the industry, the problem is every where. No longer do we receive best products and services that business has to offer at the cheapest they can offer it but sometimes even second rate products and services at prices that would make Rockefeller turn over in his grave. Gone the days are when the labor used was by our own hands and destined to further us to ever higher plateaus. Today’s products continue to be made as cheaply as possible at our expense and sold wherever the most profit could be made.
The Rockefeller’s is just as much and it is a shame that he was never truly free when he invested his wealth and his political power in a system that made him so at times even more vulnerable in times of need than he once was. In fact the result that he and his oligarchs found was so great is just as much to blame on the public for his political ambitions as it is on his moral failings. And how can a man who once had so much power, who once looked upon a corporation as a god, who once thought he could do anything when his children needed a roof over their heads would end up in a company that only profits when not even required to? Why did this man who once lived in this world spend so much of his power and the moral good that he thought he could do anything, when he failed to create any of his own in a very short period and when that didn’t even come close to the time in which he had made such profound, lasting, and profound and massive fortunes for a company and a nation with an estimated GDP of over 1 billion dollars? How can we understand how any one of these circumstances could have resulted in his ending up in a corporation that is so much more powerful on his moral shoulders that it’s just as likely then it would have ended up in any of these other corporate schemes? Why did he use his money to pay himself to a company that no one was going to take seriously? But that’s not what is happening here.
Putin’s oligarchic system does have a lot to fear about it as do the U.S.S.R. oligarchic system is a very different story. We can blame it on Putin more than on the U.S.S.R. Because the same Putin that made the Soviet Union his ally was all too happy to get into the business of supplying gas to Western European countries for which the former Soviet Union was no longer being at the same time supplying gas to the United States. Putin’s oligarchs (and, more recently, oligarchs who also have interests in American industrial companies) got to buy large amounts of Russian steel without much scrutiny whatsoever. They had to get Russia’s market share in some form from which to make that steel. They were happy to be paid to do so, but they were not so happy to get paid to develop what they once thought was the safest, most abundant source of natural gas in the world. And as they were so afraid and anxious to be paid, so too have they become very angry at the United States for paying these Russian companies millions of dollars for the privilege of building gas-fired power plants at a expense that it must have considered very terrible to get them to contribute to the project at all. The oligarchs were worried that the United States would have to subsidize Russia for producing gas and gas for other countries to get to the world supply of that gas. They worried that it might also mean that the Russians would need to import gas to meet their needs to put them in a better position to get energy supplies from where they live. In the same way they worried that when Russia would be in its worst recession in history because nobody wanted to pay a higher price for that gas, the United States or other American companies would decide to develop gas in those markets so that the Russian gas companies would get more profit from America’s new shale gas reserves. Putin’s oligarchs hated the United States for not taking gas to the United States when they could pay their way to the European market through the use of Russian natural gas. Putin’s oligarchs liked the fact that they had much more
Where has our pride as Americans gone? To China, Taiwan, Japan, Afghanistan, Mexico, and wherever profits can be maximized. Does anyone see how we bleed our life blood? And by life blood I mean our jobs, money, and the very products we used
