Poor Mr. Gates and the rest.


By Robert Melaccio, sr(28,936) Robert Melaccio, sr



Bill Gates of Microsoft, self made American billionaire, an American who made his money here with the opportunity that was afforded him, now wants to continue exporting that opportunity offshore. Nothing wrong with that at all, when done in manner that is for the Common Good of Americans first. What is wrong when it is done at the expense of American workers.
Yes, "our leaders" in Washington hailed him, in my opinion practically glorified him. They couldn't get enough of him. Well Mr. Gates went before them unchallenged by anyone, all alone and they sat there and ate up everything he said, yes, like a fly on sugar. Yes a hero in Congress and a role model. Yes they were mesmerized that they were not billionaires and he was, wow. So they listened carefully to every word he said. Rhetorically that sums everything up and I do mean sums it all up and you can figure out what I mean by that.
 
Yes, Mr. Gates talked about Americans inability to do the job.  Yes, he can’t seem to find qualified Americans so he wants more Green Card recipients. Is there anything Amercans can do any longer from low wage jobs to the very highest paying we are being excluded. Yes an All American company, or in my opinion so it once was. I guess Mr. Gates forgot his roots? So guess where these jobs go? You got it, India. Let more foreign workers in and let our technology and jobs out. Of course there was no one there to dispute him and like a good salesperson would do they all nodded their heads for the close. Yes, and Americans continue to buy his products.
 
The Programmers Guild says it isn’t about technology or ability it is all about salaries. They go offshore to India why? Well they allege it is because of dollars. Mr. Gates request was for an additional 1000 Hibv Visa’s are to go to Indian workers who come in under L1 which means less skills not more skills, strange? Less skills and they come.

Well, we have to look at the good side. They will be able to get that loan to buy some Americans home, right and improve our economy, right, because that home will have to be furnished and they will need a car, etc? See there is a bright side to it. So do we expect anything less from these leaders who want to lead and love Free Trade. Hey the bottom line and a fact, more lost American jobs, lower base pay. Yes and those Americans who vote expect change.

Now lets switch to that Military tanker deal we all have heard about. The head of "our" Air Force says, get this, our American industry is in decay so they gave the deal to an offshore company. Yes, will he support his troops with offshore companies should those allies suddenly no longer be allies? Ok, American industry is in decay. Those are pretty harsh words. Is Northdrop in decay as well or only Boeing? Also, get this, the plane deal given to a company that is being sued because of alleged illegal subsides and Northdrop says its all hype about lost jobs. That is too early in the process for anyone to know what jobs are going where. Yet they can say how many they are creating, strange?

Ok, I’ll move to Illegal Workers again. Yes and the incorrect definition of them many of you buy into that these candidates and politicians continue to use. No, they are not immigrants by fact, wake up! Immigrants go through a legal process, have these people? No they have broken the law and if you are religious they sin. Yes it is that simple. So if you approve you must be in my opinion of like beliefs? No, please none of that good Samaritan misinformation, I have already spoken to that earlier.

In my opinion it demonstrates exactly what people can chose to believe. You want another example of distortion? We have Mr. Obama talking about a news casters stance on Illegal Workers, as I have stated what he refers to as "immigrants". Hey we are a nation of immigrants right? Yes legal ones. Well enough said we know exactly where he stands on the issue 85% of us do not want called Comprehensive Immigration. However, he cannot even get it right and that newsperson challenged him to an apology. Yet many believe everything he says as if gospel. Hey anyone can be wrong but he should certainly have his facts down before he opens his mouth. In fact he has been wrong over and over and over on this same matter. Rhetorically speaking he sounds more and more like our sitting President, "good job Brownie". Have you forgotten New Orleans?

Yes, what can anyone say it is right before us and we are evidently deaf, dumb and blind or don’t care. Also, I do not leave any of the others out. If you think so read my other articles. I still find it truly amazing that people are not up in arms and united about changing our leadership at all levels. Frankly, one can’t say what is not "politically correct" any longer. Hey people get offended with truth. Truth convicts those with morals and integrity one without could care less.

Yes, it is indicative and substantiates just how far in my opinion we have fallen. If you cannot see the signs and symbols of a disorganized, nation in dissary in every single level of our society then no amount of writing will ever make you see it. It is in everything from home, to work, to government, to church, education and to the military. In my opinion never mind industry in decay we are a nation in decay.

Now of course people will disagree and it is their right. I see it as being like termites in ones home. Never seeing it until someone says, hey your roof is gone. In my opinion but strictly for the taking it is in every single fiber of morality or what we now allude to as Ethical Relativity. The parallels in history are there yet the skeptics will shrug them off. Yes, there were and always will be the skeptics to shrug the signs and symbols and warnings off. The ones who laugh, smirk, make comments, that is until it happens to them. Then they are to first to go looking for scalps or switch sides.

Hey you go down the list. Make up your own. As I say it is all there. Need help, then read through my other works or read the papers economic, business and back pages where the tiny articles are. Go experience it in our schools, talk to those working for peanuts and for the company store. Yes, it impacts your family be you rich or poor and if we do not change, well I will be right and you know something, that is truly the very last thing I want. I write because I see what has and is going on all about and what it has done and is doing to my loved ones, friends and average Americans. I see what it is doing in the world and to others.

Yes, we are at a historical election but in my opinion not for the reasons many who are voting for these candidates believe. Frankly, in my opinion, it shows their level of comprehension. It is in my opinion like the illusionist. Keep you looking elsewhere instead of on the ball. If you are focused on something else and not what is happening you will see it after it happens or when it is too late. In warfare they call it deception and every good leader uses it. Rhetorically, are these leaders any different?

So unless we wake up and start to listen to the signs and symbols all about we will get exactly the same. Unless we Change Congress we will not Change America. We will have exactly what we have now, be it Obama, McCain or Hillary, exactly the same, think about it as they say on the corner, but please do and if you can’t see that, what else can one say. Change, oh really.

Yet I do hope like you there will be a change. People can change. It is hard, very hard to do. So why can’t they demonstrate it now? Is there anything wrong with that question, why can’t they do it now not then? The answer my friends is as true as the Sun rising each day you just have to wake up to see it.
