Unless you know, microsoft made their own blu ray player, that'd be like saying the first company to make a dvd player gets paid for every dvd player ever sold.

Blueray is owned by sony get money for every
blueray player in a xbox 1
and for every game produced who needs to be on a blueray disc

damn thats a raw deal. Thanks for the info.

Very true, admittedly, one of the reasons why I like it is because I'm on that side.

Like I said, I wasn't disputing the governments hand.
Forgive my leftist, "Corporations" are evil rallying call, but I can't see anyone with significant wealth and pull who isn't to blame for the disappearance of a middle class.
Maybe Gates... he's a cool dude...

Then Corporations are all like, "Fuck your free trade barriers!"
Then take the case to the WTO
and win

I'm not saying governments don't have a hand, but when they try. They're still fucked over.

governments and lobbyists wrote the free trade agreement. They gave the corporations the power. Plus the corporations couldn't do jack shit if America said fuck you to the WTO and the Corporations what are they not going to comply and lose out on their largest consumer market. Plus im 90% sure that America runs the WTO just like the UN so they can pretty much do whatever they want.

My guess is that they are asking for higher taxes so they can at least minimally fund the side that is least funded.

I know there was a vote for Free health care and the like but that it was put down, whether that was congress stepping in or if it was the public denying what is good for them I do not know.

I am not American, not my fault the US government doesn't know how to spend its taxes.

Thats why alot of Americans are fed up with their government and calling for cut in spending in the social services and military. Except one side wants social services and the other wants military. Thats why people get mad when Obama and the left want to raise taxes when we already have the revenue they just need to spend it correctly. but people who think like that are called stupid and a bunch of other names.

The EU will certainly go about policing Africa once it goes federal.
So enjoy that fuckers!

So are the chinese essentially

Now I won't dispute what you put there, it's all perfectly valid as far as I'm concerned.

But there's no disputing the rich, (specifically corporations) have a serious hand in it. Use to be you could raise a family off of a factory job. But they found that if they paid you less they could make more money. (In the shortest terms.) Now they pay you far below the poverty line. Give your jobs to foreign workers, they send your jobs to other countries. You get what I mean. They effectively take everything they can from you to
maintain their already absurd margin of profit.

Now I hate economics, simply because it focuses so little on human needs, so my understanding here may be a little small, or simplified.

It goes back to politicians with their hands in the pot allowing those companies to get away with it. They could easily force companies that are "American" like ford and chevy to have to open factories in America since they bailed them out.
I am a person that is against Govt involvement but I personally am for isolationism to force companies to come back to America
