Welcome to Liberterian United Inc!

Now, as I understand it. LUI (above mentioned Corp) was started in the US. They have since expanded world-wide and have a 2nd Corp headquarters in China.

US employess were displaced by the Corporations investments in China and are pissed. The Corporation’s China interests are very interested in furthering their goals to increase exports to the US and have been lobbying to that effect. They have also been contributing substantially to politicians who (of course, own no stock or mutual funds in the Corporation) see the value of their goals. Stockholders all over the world want this to succeed as it will increase their share value.

Displaced US employees, whose retirement funds are partially tied to the stock value are lobbying and making political contributions against the Corporations China interests because they see it as “outsourcing” American jobs. Other entities, such as municipalities who have lost a tax base when the LUI moved some of it’s operations to China, are following suit.

Life is fun isn’t it.
