I recently was brought to the attention of the above web site, detailing through photojournalism, the child labor practices of the US. Two generations ago, our grandparents fought to eradicate this type of injustice. In this era of globalisation, this kind of labor injustice has been exported to the developing countries. I'm not accusing China, India etc of child labor exploitation (I don't have the facts), but the labor conditions under which they subject their citizens in order to undercut the US labor market is part of the big problem.
People following this movement need to be made aware of the history of the capitalistic economic system and how it abused labor in order to maximize profits, the ultimate goal of any economic enterprise.

Americans ignore the insanity and incompetence of the government

Let's begin with the budget and the squandering of trillions of dollars on more and more weapons. Only raving maniacs would create the American foreign policy and defense policy. Americans do it with a straight face as if they were sophisticated and educated people.
The economists and bankers in America have created policies that allow and promote wild gambling with derivatives that they claim are complex as if they worked. They worked to destroy the banking system and put 50,000,000 Americans out of work with the globalization policy that is nothing more than simple slavery of Chinese workers. That slavery is hidden behind the bogus claim that China's currency is too strong. If China allowed its currency to rise in value to the dollar, the US debt they own $1.137 trillion (the same as it was in August 2010) would be paid back with half of what they loaned.
The Chinese government isn't stupid. They aren't going to take half of what they loaned. The American people are completely uninformed nitwits who have no clue that the government they believe can't be voted out of office with a 3rd party, would be gone if they heard what SCREWED AGAIN is trying to publish for them.
The ignorance and incompetence of the American government is displayed by the liars that divert attention to 9/11 every day. The American people refuse to hear about and understand the evidence that proves clearly the 9/11 was a direct attack by Bush who was warned officially more than 40 times and chose to use the Al-Qaeda attack as a false flag for the incidents revealed by SCREWED AGAIN.
