That is the corporate way of saying "we refuse to take any loss in profits, as our shareholders are far more important than the wealth of any nation. Your nation is something to exploit and we will do so, using our government contacts."

Now you know why there are occupy movements all over the world.

So will you allow the worker to be exploited?
Or is it ok, because workers are secondary to job creators.

You guys are more American than we are British.

Thatcher and Reagan, supply side economics, good stuff right?
