I wouldn’t want to dispute the power of consumerism to create jobs, though I do want to get past things just being ‘a good thing’ or not.

I’ve posted a full and detailed response to your comments here:

Tell you what, watch Lee Corvan’s The Critique because obviously you are wrapped up in talking points rather than the facts. For example, having spent time in China, I can tell you that corporations setting up shop there has been a good thing. Many of my former students now work for these companies using the English I taught them to make far more money than both their parents combined. Matter of fact, one girl (not my student, a student though of another ESL teacher) was making 4500 Y a month, more than double what both her parents made IN A YEAR. Because of an American shipping company, her quality of life has risen. Learn the facts and get your head out of the clouds… Pathetic… http://clancop.wordpress.com This video doesn’t even make sense, and yet you want to push it?
