Sorry, Chuck (Schumer), you're full of shit

[SoCalDem]

He was just now on Morning Joe , spouting nonsense about why GoogleMaps went to Canada.

His claim is that Canada's more welcoming to the high tech foreign people who want to work for Google....as if WE have no such people here.

Companies go to Canada a LOT because in Canada they do not have to pay/help the employees pay for medical insurance.

Companies have basically 4 choices when they locate a company:

1...Sweatshop, Bangladesh/China...'nuff said
2...Canada.. nice standard of living and no messy health care stuff to fool with
3...States-Rights, US... cheap labor and worth what it costs, health care issues
4..Anywhere Else, US...higher quality workers who may want a union and health care.

1. Agreed

You hit the nail on the head.

2. He's just working for his clients

Facebook, et al. People need to understand that he does not work for them, they can't afford his rate.

3. I really don't like Chuck Schumer (nt)

4. Over the past

couple or so years there are several "democrats" who have emerged as pure Corprate shills-really in actions, are not hanging out too far apart from the Paul Ryan's under the proverbial apple tree--

Schumer, imo, is just such an example.
As the "crazies" in the GOP/TP have grown "crazier"? Many in dem leadership have grown "greedier"....imo

5. Schumer is angry because he voted for and adored DOMA back in the day

He has been an active opponent of equality in recent years, he is man of no honor, a greedy gas bag. Can't stand him.
