...corporations reap what they sow...

Somehow that sounds an awful lot like Jeremiah Wright saying 9/11 was fine because of Hiroshima --"America's chickens coming home to roost!"   What's really happening is there's so little employment is because employers are being attacked and fleeing for their lives.  imho calling CEO's a bunch of Nazis is the wrong answer.

We don't help employees by attacking the employers.

I never called anyone a Nazi. Look up the definition of "fascism" before you make a statement like that.

The relationship between government and corporations in America these days is no different than it was back in the post-WW2 decades. You have corporations currying favor with government to get huge government contracts and competitive advantages in the market, and government adding enormous costs to these companies that make them uncompetitive outside the U.S.

The only thing that's changed is that the uncompetitive position of the U.S. in a global economy actually matters now. This isn't the 1950s where General Motors would get enormous military contracts for unneeded trucks and jeeps in exchange for generous employment guarantees for the UAW members who supported the Congressional candidates who wrote those defense appropriations bills. The U.S. is not the only industrial power left standing after WW2 anymore, and with $20 trillion in debt the reality of global competition is only beginning to sink in.
