pdx, US delayed the economic calamity by adding more and more debt, however US didn't consider perhaps the human factor. Importing from China destroyed the manufacturing jobs and there is no solution either. We have too many unemployed, too much debt and too little growth. Obviously, this may end up worse than better first. I think the laws will somehow change eventually. Maybe the stock option compensation becomes mandatory whenever an executive also receives them. This would give people some hope for long term commitment to their jobs as they would own the company and share the profits eventually with no immediate cost to the companies. Perhaps the companies can reduce their social security (tax) contributions by doing so by law, these should all boost the employment and benefits for long term employment... We are not China, people in US are different, there must be the human value attached to capitalism since the capitalism is only a numbers game and it doesn't understand the human value or society or nations anymore. I am not sure, maybe none of these are possible and we will end up with a revolution and start over...

Alot comes down to action reaction, karma. The young generation may not be willing to work for $10 after living what the corporation did to their families. The corporation meaning the whole matrix including congress. I won't be able to articulate everything about the matrix but it has probably been said already. The biggest scam that wiped out the bottom, was the federal tax scam. Almost all states have 9% sales tax most including food, they just transfered it to local regressive tax, and locally they have the property tax entrapment. The already got their flat tax on the bottom scale. That had alot to do with finishing them off. Really scams like the Inercontinental Exchange creation could be for regressive purposes, the non-discretionary consumer inflation ultimately goes to CEO's and Treasury because incremental spending goes to profit and taxation fairly efficiently. The whole thing may have been engineered to feed the consumption into the treasury. About doctors, my doctor got $1500 total for my knee replacement, 2.5 hours in surgery, and I paid $700 of that, and the doctor still has to pay the staff for insurance regulation and legal purposes.
