That’s never been the goal of the GOPers for a very long time. Long ago the GOPers found that if you scare people enough, drive down their wages to poverty levels but give them easy credit, the wealthy can continue looting the economy with no check on them. Nikky serves exactly this interest. South Carolina is doomed to be a bonded labor or oppressed labor economy as long as the chamber of commerce runs the state. Foreign manufacturers now choose to come to the US to certain states like Texas and SC because labor laws are almost non-existent. The US is rapidly becoming a glossier version of the East Asian bonded labor sweat shop, tragically at a time when labor standards are becoming stricter, especially in China and to a lesser extent in India and Vietnam. Offenders include every name you can think of

Ikea’s U.S. factory churns out unhappy workers A union-organizing battle hangs over the Ikea plant in Virginia. Workers complain of eliminated raises, a frenzied pace, mandatory overtime and racial discrimination.

More from hte article, Laborers in Swedwood plants in Sweden produce bookcases and tables similar to those manufactured in Danville. The big difference is that the Europeans enjoy a minimum wage of about $19 an hour and a government-mandated five weeks of paid vacation. Full-time employees in Danville start at $8 an hour with 12 vacation days — eight of them on dates determined by the company.

What’s more, as many as one-third of the workers at the Danville plant have been drawn from local temporary-staffing agencies. These workers receive even lower wages and no benefits, employees said.

Swedwood’s Steen said the company is reducing the number of temps, but she acknowledged the pay gap between factories in Europe and the U.S. “That is related to the standard of living and general conditions in the different countries,” Steen said. Bill Street, who has tried to organize the Danville workers for the machinists union, said Ikea was taking advantage of the weaker protections afforded to U.S. workers. “It’s ironic that Ikea looks on the U.S. and Danville the way that most people in the U.S. look at Mexico,” Street said.

This is the sort of job creation that cronies and flacks like Haley and Jindal dream of – vast armies of serfs who can hired and fired at will.

While some wonder how long this can go on before we become like those infamous banana republics, with private security guarded homes, misery on the streets, and organized looting of state resources, I have a thought – we already are there. Since we incarcerate a larger proportion of our population than any other nation and imprison more people than any other, and for the most part for petty victimless crimes, we are not very different at all.

As I said Can’t isn’t an option, Cant is and so is sanctimony and hypocrisy

Then again, maybe putting it in an easily searchable format will leave you exposed to be called on any bullshit you put in there.

That would be a better title for Nikky’s deathless prose.

I wish we brownz had an Al Sharpton of our own, who could put down Haley and Jindal like Sharpton dismissed the notorious Herman Cain (who’s done it all, mini-Enron swindle, labor exploitation,..)

Haley is the typical chamber of commerce crony, financial industry flack, and and a hardened anti-middle class politician. Jindal is an anti-science kook and welfare wrecker under whose stewardship Louisiana can no longer say, “We aren’t at the bottom, yet, thank god for Mississippi.”

At a time when the US Supreme Court has all but become an echo chamber of corporatist interests (producing egregious judgments like Citizens United, the Dredd Scott of our times) legislation is written by shadowy organizations like ALEC (which took over SC and LA years ago) and with laws being written to satisfy the lust of specific industry groups (Arizona’s “Papers Please” law was written to fulfill the interests of America’s private prison industry) one would have thought that two brownz,children of families who came here in the ’60s searching for opportunity, would champion the cause of freedom and progress. Instead we have produced a due that is ruthlessly compromised, in the thrall of the worst corporate crooks, absolutely lacking in humane character whatsoever. What a fall!

All the more reason why I plan to never have anything to do with any “South Asian” political advocacy group. If Jindal and Haley are all that we brownz can come up with, I would rather not ever have another brown in office.

How can these two get a good night’s sleep? Don’t they have a conscience?

The one thing I can tell you is that the title reeks of ambition. She’s probably lining herself up for the 2016 election.
