Re: Heavy investment
in my opinion free trade will inevitably make the US working class less prosperous and i think it would be disengenious to argue otherwise, yet i'm still largely free market in my thinking (side note, it will also make the products that US workers buy inevitably cheaper, but not at a comensurate level). I also believe that there should be a wealth tax (or at the very least an unearned income tax) to compensate for some of the problems within the free market, but i'm more then willing to debate.
In fact, while i have no problem with the actions of GM, i do infact agree that free-market capitalism is flawed, and i doubt you'll find any posts of mine that don't reflect that.
Still, getting the government involved in forcing companies to retain workers is almost certainly not the correct solution to the problems you have with capitalism.
