I am actually shocked o hear an American say that stuff.

It reminds me of Target stores, opening in Canada, then failing miserably and closing in less that 2 years, losing several billion dollars and laying off tons of employees in the process. And so poorly mismanaged and planned that it seems like it was engineered to happen as a tax write down. The severance deal also included a 62 million dollar payout for the CEO.
Not a pinko, though I had to Google that to figure out what it was. I just feel that as we speak our current economic model isn't really in favor of the middle class.

I've witnessed a mill close to me give its CEO a 70% wage increase from last year and now the company is trying to take away the guarantee of an 8 hr day and 40 hour work week, among other things, because they aren't making enough profit. That's not right, and thats what I'm against.
