. . . When your political party's candidates are described as disconnected from reality by old Marxists, possibly you should reconsider? Fidel Castro said recently, the “selection of a Republican candidate for the presidency of this globalized and expansive empire is — and I mean this seriously — the greatest competition of idiocy and ignorance that has ever been.” It also seems that congressmen, senators and presidents look at the world differently than business and industry leaders, and this includes members of all political parties. So says Thomas L. Friedman (author of THE WORLD IS FLAT) in the New York Times.
President Obama asked Steve Jobs last year why almost all of the 70 million iPhones, 30 million iPads and 59 million other products Apple sold the previous year were made overseas. Jobs replied simply, "Those jobs aren't coming back."
Politicians view, ". . . the world as blocs of voters living in specific geographies — and they see their job as maximizing the economic benefits for the voters in their geography. . . " BUT, today's CEO's, ". . . see the world as a place where their products can be made anywhere through global supply chains (often assembled with nonunion-protected labor) and sold everywhere. These C.E.O.’s rarely talk about “outsourcing” these days. Their world is now so integrated that there is no “out” and no “in” anymore. In their businesses, every product and many services now are imagined, designed, marketed and built through global supply chains that seek to access the best quality talent at the lowest cost, wherever it exists. . . "
So when you cast your next vote, remember, here's just another opportunity for a politician, who is driven by that one overpowering desire - to get elected (or re-elected), to make another promise that he cannot keep.
