Lost Jobs Due to Corporate Greed and Corporate Controlled Government

One reason was touted by Ross Perot who championed opposition to the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), urging voters to listen for the "giant sucking sound" of American jobs heading south to Mexico should NAFTA be ratified.

A second reason is due to corporations shifting jobs overseas to labor forces that have almost wiped out goods manufactured in the United States.

Another reason is the increase of H1B1 visas issued by our government on behalf of our corporations which has two detrimental side effects: Loss of jobs by American citizens and brain drains of the countries that need their educated citizens.

Do not confuse this last reason with immigration of illegal aliens.

The voters might want to ask themselves: Which candidates can put a cork in this situation and reverse it?  And if you would like to see one viewpoint of what cheap goods and lost jobs have done to the United States, please be sure to view the Flash Video below.

An effort is being made by ABC7 TV in Los Angeles to get people to buy "Made In America" products which will add jobs to our economy and lower our importation of cheap goods from overseas.  I would welcome any and all e-mails regarding other efforts across the United States.

The creator of PPP saw this all coming many years ago when she created the Petey, Petunia, and Priscilla characters.  Company benefits were shrinking or disappearing.  Retirement plans were changing into 401K plans.  Company health insurance deductions were increased on a regular basis.  And companies no longer fostered a feeling of family by eliminating family picnics and adding employment phrases to the hiring contract such as "Fire-at-Will."  Here at two of her drawings depicting the future that she saw coming.
