Because there are not enoufgh Americans doing the work needed ... for what the companies FEEL LIKE PAYING THEM.

I don't think this is merely a dollar and cents business decision. Henry Ford knew if he paid his employees top dollar it would create a stronger customer base for his own products. This is common sense. I think the heads of these multinational corporations and, more importantly, the heads of the Globalist Banks and Hedge Funds that control these corporations hate America and Americans and are doing this deliberately to destroy the American Middle-class.

It’s all about bucks; I don’t mind success, but we’re not being smart about the reality of work. People should be paid well if they are contributing to the bottom line. it’s not easy to program software and bluntly put, they have no business messing around with our nation’s security and economy for more and more and more bucks.

I sincerely think that the collapse of the world economy is due to the relentless demand for cheaper and cheaper labor.

Might be common sense, but this is also a common misconception. That is certainly not the reason why Ford paid what he paid. He did so because he couldn’t find enough employees at the wages he was paying. Literally 50% turn over was common at the lower industry standard.
