Corporate America’s playbook: 1) Exploit workers to maximize profits 2) Use profits to buy Congress 3) Use Congress to pass union-busting laws 4) Use these laws to further exploit workers 5) Repeat Let's break the cycle and keep building back a powerful labor movement.

The exploiter in Reich’s story is the one he conveniently leaves out: the government he wants empowered. A business offers a trade, you take the job or buy the product only if you expect to gain by your own standards, and the other side does the same. Reich calls that “exploitation.” His alternative is an institution that doesn’t need your agreement, takes regardless of whether you consider yourself better off, and then routinely makes the things it promises to fix more expensive. Apparently voluntary exchange is exploitation, but compulsory extraction is solidarity.

Reich’s playbook: 1) Force workers to join Unions 2) Unions cause worker pay to rise 3) High Pay causes Company to be uncompetitive 4) Company outsources jobs to cheaper country 5) Repeat

That was your playbook you were labor secretary when you push through the North American Free Trade Agreement so Union Rank and file workers would be able to compete with workers making pennies on the hour. Ross Perot was right you sold out the American Union Rank and file

Worker wages are all time record August 2026! - BLS Largest fall in U.S. education in global rankings under U.S. Big Business Education $4T/ mega business. Dropped from top 10 to 38th 2024!

The labor unions model wasn’t broken until you and your NAFTA destroyed it

Robert every single democrat that posted today seem to forget they were all right in the middle of allowing monoplies, big corps to take 20 million jobs off shore from 1988 to 2004. Sadly whether ur a dem or gop supporter no one has given a crap about the American worker n 40yrs

No founders. No risk takers. No workers.

Reich’s socialist fairy tale. Reality: 1) Profit rewards creating value 2) Workers are free to bargain, quit, organize or refuse to join unions 3) Corps don’t owe politicians obedience 4) Politicians don’t own businesses. Reich’s “cycle” is coercion dressed up as compassion.

You need a new act dude.

I wonder if the genocidal ZioJewish lobby is part of corporate America that buys politicians.

Still shit posting clown?

it's your time little man.

You're a pompous cheater. It is you who advocate for the exploitation of better men. You wish to take what you haven't earned and the point of a gun. Shameful.

“exploit” is a marxist word. are dems aware how much hard-left thinking has crept in?

Communists and their tyrannical governance are the biggest exploiters in human history. They have no equal.

You’re a fucking asshole. You are irrelevant!

Okay. What's the first step?

The communist playbook is to throttle energy and the state control over everything.

lol leftish moron. YOU are a Top 1% in Income &Assets multiple TAXPAYER pensions ( not sketchy 401k). Trump created over 100,000 jobs in his career. You: multiple elitist pork barrel wasteful taxpayer jobs at Harvard & Feds.. Stop pretending You are a typical American

@AFLCIO @MattMahanSJ @RahmEmanuel @AndrewYang @TulsiGabbard @elonmusk @JeffBezos @jpmorgan

You’re full of 💩.

So let’s remove the power over businesses from Congress.

Robert Reich hates you, and only does this for profit. Capitalist profit!

Everyone, including you, miss the real issue - politicians that can be bought. Vote in people who will actually represent you - not just Blue or Red -, can't be bought and who will legislate to take money out of politics.

Have you considered replacing the corporate tax with one that scales based on their ratio of profit and labor costs? It works like A Floor for Labor, a Tax for Robots. I researched and developed the idea. Click through to my profile to see how we'd do this.

Bitter bobby still shilling for hits. LMAO.

Sounds like Robert would like to live in a cave.

For the creeps still whining about Elon taking over X…there has been zero restriction of paid liars like Reich. He can say the most heinous, untrue, misleading bullshit unfettered. So your complaints about censorship are as false and empty as your economic platform.
