I find this recent article by David Phinney, an investigative reporter working for Inter Press Service, one of the most damning for the privatized U. S. government.
M. I. T. Professor Noam Chomsky recently commented that the overall economic strategy of the movers and shakers in this country was to "keep the rich happy" and all others "frightened" with job insecurity, wild price fluctuations in the prices of the basics and economic terror for those who can barely manage to make their mortgage payments. It's the stuff to keep us all in line; fear.
The article linked below describes the conditions "foreign" workers endure while building the largest U. S. embassy in the world, just outside of Baghdad. It's something of the world we are seeing more and more of even in Kansas.
The transnationals are doing this everywhere. Why would we think the United States, or for that matter, Kansas would be spared this sickness?
Union busting, unsafe working conditions and exploitation pitting worker against worker is now common place even in the "reddest of red states," Kansas.
