How to stimulate the economy.

Alcoa is an international conglomerate. In the process of closing a smelting plant in Sardinia/Italy. Because it's gonna be cheaper to operate in Iceland. Where immigrant workers can be brought in and paid $6.50 an hour. It's a sign of a heartless and mean-spirited business operation. Alcoa has annual profits hovering around $20 billion. It could easily pay workers a more decent living wage. But chooses not to. For the sake of padding its profit. That's the way capitalism operates. And to hell with the common good. If workers were paid more, it'd be a big boost to the economy. Because workers would have more to spend. Yes, folks, workers and the middle class are being exploited. By big business. By big corporations. We need to get more of the wealth into the hands of the middle class. Instead of into the pockets of the rich and super rich. --Jim Broede
