¶ … American corporations in general and how they operate, and that many do not pay living wages to people in general. The author's asserts that corporations in general are part of the reason there is such a big difference between the rich and the poor in America, and I agree with that. I also agree there is truly a class warfare going on in America today, and it is a result of several administrations' attempts to protect the wealth of the upper class at the expense of the poor and middle class. It is also quite true that the more wealthy you become, the more you don't need government, because you can afford to take care of your own healthcare, education, housing, etc.
Reading this article has made me think more deeply about the issues the author talks about. We go about our daily lives and don't always think about "class warfare" and what people have to do to survive. I think that we often forget that there are many people in America who still have such few of what we call necessities that they could be considered living in a third world country. The situation that happened in New Orleans after hurricane Katrina shows that. It was the poor and the homeless that were stuck in New Orleans after the hurricane, because the middle class and above always have the means to get away, no matter how. The poor are disadvantaged in this country, but there are also many things that society and corporations do to keep them at their poverty level. Businesses pay substandard wages, the government taxes the poor to help the wealthy, and companies take their business overseas, all at the expense of American workers and society. There is a class warfare going on in America today, and this article just helped me think more about it and see what causes it. I guess the big question remains, who is going to win the class war, and how will we end the struggle?

"An important part of the second phase of the New Deal brought about an anti-monopoly philosophy," including an investigation of corporate price-fixing, the deliberate creation of scarcity on the part of some organizations, agreements between corporations not to compete, and in the abuse of patent laws"(Bryant 1998). However, the desire to limit the growth of industry power was superseded by the need to mobilize the nation for war. While
Three of the most important ones are succinctly revealed below: (a) The declining demand for the company's vehicles -- this issue led to the necessity for more financial resources, which eventually materialized in the acceptance of aid under TARP (b) The growing competition placed by international manufacturers -- this situation raised an impending necessity to reorganize the company in a means that it better addresses the needs and wants of customers (c)
However, in addition to being part of the Americanization process, this has also sparked hostility and anti-American sentiments as well, for some Canadians who believe Canadian culture is being lost to the United States. Demonstrations in front of American enterprises, boycotts of American iconic products like Coca-Cola, and even vandalizing McDonald's outlets have all been a part of this effort to not succumb to Americanization.
