Class on 9/27/11

Marx discussion: At first I'm thinking, what does this man's philosophy have to do with our economy today? Communist society should replace capitalism? Well, I think he's right. To me, capitalism means the wealthy, ruling class knows where the PROFIT is and how to get it. So the rich get richer and the poor get poorer because they don't stand a chance in reinvesting profits. That's why I believe we should live in a communist society today, where the people that are actually working hold the power. Marx said capitalism is unstable, well look at the national headlines about Greece, the financial disaster, the euro! I hope they can emerge from all of this without U.S. bailing someone else out.

As for Canada and U.S. regulating the border... I get it, 9/11. But what did Canada ever do to us? What did they do to any other country? It makes sense to tighten the borders into U.S. when it comes to tourism and travel, but I think changing products and regulations to impact globalization of companies goes a little far with our friendly neighbor. We can trust them and their location is the most convenient for globalization to keep costs low, so we should stay true to NAFTA and loosen our trade regulations with Canada to jump start our country's improvement!
