I have no problem with corporations dumping employees. I worked for several corporation for several years. I believe most corporations could fire half their workforce and see no significant change in productivity or profit.

I learned from first hand experience that corporations are on all fours with government--spending someone else's money like it's someone else's money, avoiding accountability, rewarding slick liars, colluding, spending their budgets at the last minute so they can ask for more, budgets being doled out as a form of patronage, mid level execs hiring people and creating positions to create feifdoms and increase their power and influence, etc.

What we need in America are real jobs that produce real products, useful products that people want. We need jobs that require actual skill and enterprise.

In every large organization I’ve ever been a part of, about half of the employees do 90% of the work. The rest, in my opinion, are excess baggage. Should it be a government organization, I refer to it as “employed welfare.”
