AMERICAN COMPANIES ARE UNPATRIOTIC.

FROM A COLUMN BY RALPH NADER


CEOs want their American companies to be treated as “persons” under our constitution in order to retain and expand their powerful privileges and immunities.
Americans are increasingly questioning why U.S. corporations are less than patriotic when it comes to paying low wages treatment or abandoning U.S. workers to shift jobs and industries to repressive regimes abroad, increasing their corporate welfare dependency on U.S. taxpayers, and their wanting to be rescued from time to time by the U.S. military when in trouble abroad.
The comparative yardsticks of patriotism should be applied frequently and meticulously to the large U.S. corporations that rove the world seeking advantages from other countries, to the detriment of the United States, the country that chartered them into existence and helped insure their success and survival.
