The Economic Environmentalists Mr. Mankiw Is Right (washingtonpost.com) One has to wonder what the owning class would be saying if their primary source of income was threatened. No doubt we'd launch a war and declare their foes "enemies of civilization". In contrast to the response today: "...programs to retrain them should be expanded" "Them", referring of course to the great unwashed workers that should simply accept their role as so much froth floating atop an ocean of economic inevitabilities. We should not expect to fight against forces of NATURE. Corporations hide their incomes from taxation like crabs protect themselves with shells. CEO's collect massive compensation packages like spiders who build their webs in choice corners. Money flows like a river into corporate profits. To claim that it should be otherwise is not simply to argue for fairness, for nature is not fair, but to suggest upsetting the natural order of the world and inviting in chaos, or worse even, Socialism, the economic equivalent of water flowing uphill. Outsourced workers should accept their fate like children who built their sand castles too close to the ocean's edge. Recessions are the tides that wash away any and all progress we've made. When workers lose their jobs and face destitution opinion makers shake their heads and lament such tragedies but view it much like an earthquake. Sorry it happened to you. | |
