My Credit Union Didn't Give My Money to Foreigners-Did Your Bank?

Do you know one reason why I bank at a local credit union? Not only is it owned by its members, it doesn't invite non-US citizens to be on their board of directors or invite people over for jobs that should be handled locally.

I was really ashamed of the United States today when I read this article about banks bailing out foreign workers. What the hell?

Please, do not pop your politically correct garbage on me. I don't hate foreigners. I love chatting with someone who sounds different and learning about their life. What I don't like is when there are people here in the United States who need jobs more than anything and some big wig sells out the jobs that could be helping people here to someone in another country.

I'm all for a global economy, but not at the expense of our people here. There are quality people who have lost jobs because of this globalization. I wasn't for NAFTA or GATT. Unlike the other Republicans at the time, I voted against all that garbage. I'm not for giving special credits to companies who hire non-US citizens. Hell, I'm not for giving special credits to companies who hire minorities or women because in the United States of America we are supposed to be ALL EQUAL. Which means that I should be able to get a job based on my merit and not on my social, economic, religious, lifestyle, gender, or race status.

What happened to all that talk? Did it fade away in the equal rights of the 60s and 70s and then get lost in the multicultural hodgepodge of the 90s?

Put it this way: We all have a brain. The brain is used to better our lifestyle. It is used to make us smarter if we actually put it to good use. If we are given things all the time then we fail to succeed because we are not enhancing our lives, but living off the system and the benefit of others. When this happens our brain and our rights erode into the evaporating horizon.

Sure, you say our rights are better now that everyone has an opportunity, but this is farther from the truth. Not everyone has an opportunity. In fact, it used to be just that white males landed the better jobs. Then when equal rights meant equal rights men and women of all races began to get the better jobs. Now that equal rights no longer means equal rights but more of a special rights white men and women are no longer getting the better jobs and very soon it will be no one who is a US Citizen will get the better jobs.

Do you see the path here? Sure, people who haven't used their brain in the last 30 years or so because of job placement policies or college and political brainwashing will call me racist and sexist, but that is how they operate. They know no better. I pity those people, seriously I do.
