Ezra Levant critiques Pierre Poilievre’s Conservative push to scrap Canada’s temporary foreign worker (TFW) program, now 2% of the workforce with 105,000 permits issued in six months—far beyond the Liberals’ promised cap. He cites 75% of TFWs in low-wage jobs, like Tim Hortons’ 1,131% TFW surge, and Booster Juice paying a worker $72,000/year while rejecting Canadian hires, calling it an "indentured servant class." Poilievre blames Liberals and corporate elites, including RBI (linked to U.S. investors) and Brazilian hedge funds, for exploiting TFWs, breaking Canada’s social contract with youth facing 14.6% unemployment and joblessness levels last seen in 1998. Levant proposes a consumer boycott to force compliance, framing the program as a moral failure fueling disillusionment with capitalism among young Canadians. [Automatically generated summary]
I put a question to Pierre Polyev today about temporary foreign workers.
I said, should you use your bully pulpit, your position, to name and shame companies that use foreign laborers?
I'll show you his answer.
I'll also show you the response by Mark Carney.
But first, let me invite you to become a subscriber to what we call Rebel News Plus.
That's the video version of this podcast.
There's some video clips I want you to see today.

It's eight bucks a month, which may not sound like a lot of dough to you, but boy, it adds up for us and it's how we pay the bills because we don't take a dime from government.
And it shows.
Tonight, Pierre Polyev says he wants fewer temporary foreign workers.
Mark Carney says he wants more.
It's September 3rd, and this is the Ezra Levant Show.
Shame on you, you sensorious bug.
I had another interesting day.
I was invited to a Pierre Polyev news conference about temporary foreign workers.
I went to one the other day about crime, and I got a question in it.
I thought it was, you know, I got a fairly good answer.
So I went there today.
The theme was immigration, and I went with my ears open.
Let me play for you a video I recorded on the scene in Mississauga.
Take a look.
You know, I've always been against the temporary foreign worker program in the past.
It's been very limited.
For example, some farmers claim they just literally can't get enough workers for a particular crop-picking season, so they need the help.
And I don't know, I suppose that rings true to me, but again, very limited, time-specific, job-specific, not replacing Canadian workers as a general business strategy.
That's exactly what's been happening in Canada the past 10 years under Trudeau.
Temporary foreign workers are not temporary at all, and they've displaced a whole generation of young Canadians.
Youth unemployment is out of control.
And here in Mississauga, where the Conservative Party, Pierre Polyev, Michelle Garnarempel, and another MP, Garnet Genuis, had a news conference announcing their plan to, well, I'll say it in a word, scrap the temporary foreign workers program.
Here, take a look at some of his comments.
Some very talented and hardworking people who cannot get jobs here in Canada.
And let's be honest, young people today form what I call generation screwed.
Let's look at the situation for this generation.
It is the first generation that cannot afford a home in Canadian history.
And now, the double gut punch.
They have the highest, the worst employment numbers of any group of young people since the late 1990s.
So you can't get a job.
And even if you did have a job, you can never buy a home after 10 years of Liberal government.
We have major problems in our job market.
Let's look at the facts here.
The unemployment rate for those aged 15 to 24 is now 14.6%.
The employment rate, the share of young people who are employed, is at its lowest level in over a quarter century outside of the pandemic.
1.6 million Canadians were unemployed in July, 7.4% increase in unemployment insurance requests since Mr. Carney took office.
Almost 400,000 Canadians have been continually searching for work for over two years, the highest share of long-term unemployment since 1998.
There are 16,000 more people unemployed in Ontario than there were in the Great Recession.
Ontario has seen a massive increase in job losses and a massive decrease in home building.
Nearly 75% of temporary foreign workers that come into the country are for low-wage positions, which means they compete with working class and young people that ultimately drive down wages and drive away jobs.
Tim Hortons has hired an unimaginable 1,131% more temporary foreign workers in the last four years.
In the first half of this year alone, the TFW program has imported 74% more low-skilled labor than in all of 2015.
TFWs, the number of temporary foreign workers, has now 2% of our overall workforce, a staggering number, an unprecedented number.
Booster Juice's Canadian Worker Pay00:12:17
Now, the Liberals promised they would cap the temporary foreign worker program at 82,000, but in the first six months, they've already handed out 105,000 permits to Canadian jobs for Canadian workers.
Canada first, Canada always.
That's why Conservatives are calling on the Kearney government to permanently scrap the temporary foreign worker program and to stop issuing visas for any new temporary foreign workers coming into the country.
Under this proposal, existing permits would be wound down until the program is entirely eliminated.
Canadian jobs will go to Canadian workers first.
It's time that Mr. Kearney took a serious, the job seriously, of repairing the damage that his party has done.
Well, I think that's a good idea.
And I mean, we've heard outrageous reports of how the temporary foreign workers program has been used in the past, where staff at a company were told to train their foreign replacements and then they were laid off.
You can't go into a retail album, a restaurant, a drive-through at 7-Eleven without having foreign workers.
I'm not talking about Canadian citizens who are ethnic minorities.
I'm not talking about that.
I'm talking about foreign nationals who are brought here.
Really, let's not dance around it, as a kind of slave-wage economy.
I mean, obviously, they are not literally slaves, although some of them are exploited.
They're like indentured workers.
They have to give a kickback to their employer.
I think throughout time, slave economies have been sort of the secret juice to economies.
They're free workers, they're low-cost workers.
That's how the United States used slaves in the early years of the Republic to pick crops, temporary foreign workers, but they were permanent and they were indentured.
I'm not saying that temporary foreign workers as a program is morally as repugnant as actual slavery, but it is of the same solution, isn't it?
We can't do this work, or we can, but we'd rather save a few dollars an hour by bringing in foreigners to be an underclass.
They are exploited.
It's better work for them than staying at home if they were in Afghanistan or rural Pakistan or India.
I can understand why Canada is the dream place, and they all know they're a soft touch.
They can apply to be refugees once they're here, or they can just simply not go home.
Who's going to enforce the law?
Mark Carney.
So I think we have to scrap the temporary foreign worker program.
That's exactly what Polly had called for.
But here's the thing: he is not the prime minister.
The Liberals will never do that.
So I put a question, these are them, and I just saw they came up with it on the spot.
Is there something here Polly could do in the meantime?
Here's the question I put and the answer I got.
Hi, Angel Levant from Rebel News.
I thought it was very interesting about Booster Juice paying 36 bucks an hour to a foreign worker.
And I think a lot of Canadians don't know how pervasive this is, and that's an outrageous anecdote.
I don't think the Liberals are going to accept your advice here, so I think your reformists wouldn't be able to bite until you become Prime Minister if that happens.
But I think there is something you could do in the meantime.
And let me ask you if you would consider this, I'm actually just doing some brainstorming here.
Would you consider shining a spotlight using your bully pulpit on the worst offenders?
For example, maybe a company that really wraps itself in the Canadian flag, like Tim Hortons.
Would you consider having an event outside of Tim Hortons?
Would you consider writing to the board of directors of RBI and the Brazilian Hedge Fund?
And I guess what I'm saying is there's no downside to these companies hiring foreign workers.
But if there was a PR downside, if patriotic Canadians said this is enough, I notice in the UK there's a lot of people waving British and English flags.
It's their response to immigration crises.
Would you consider naming and shaming in the public domain abusers of the TFW program?
Yes.
And thank you for the question.
Michelle Rempel has already begun the process.
She's been publishing the most egregious cases of corporate elites profiting by shutting Canadians out of jobs in favor of low-wage temporary foreign workers.
And Michelle, do you want to add anything to that?
Sure.
Come on over.
No, thanks for the question, Ezra.
It's absolutely egregious that these companies expect that they can just maximize corporate profits on the backs of and at the expense of Canadian youth.
It's a practice that has to end.
We've been naming and shaming them all week.
I want to thank my team for finding those examples, but I encourage Canadians to go and look for themselves.
There's been websites that have been set up so that people can see what these companies are doing.
But the more important thing is, Ezra, that the Liberals are letting them do this.
The Liberals are totally letting them do this.
You know, Lena Diab, where was she this summer, the Immigration Minister?
Did she name and shame any of these people?
No, she didn't.
And that's why we're here today.
We're standing up for the people that are behind us.
Enough is enough.
Canadian jobs have to go to Canadians.
Well, I think we have to name and shame these companies, and we have to do the opposite as well.
We have to praise companies that hire Canadians.
I was in Costco the other day, and it's so clear they have avoided the temporary foreign worker economy.
Their staff are Canadians, and I say again, they're from different ethnic minorities.
This is not a racial comment.
This is a national comment.
At Costco, they have a very strong human resources strategy.
They pay well, they recruit well, they have staff stick around for a long time.
And I think it shows off in better customer service.
I think Costco is sort of world famous for customer service.
That's a very different strategy than the Tim Horton strategy of just bring in foreigners and shave off a dollar an hour or $5 an hour.
You know what?
Speaking as a consumer, obviously we all want to save money.
But if someone said, would you pay an extra 25 cents for your coffee and have, and think about it, you know, how many hundreds of coffees would any of these restaurants serve in a day?
Just, of course, 25 cents per coffee would pay for hiring a Canadian.
And we heard an anecdote today of a worker at Booster Juice.
You know what Booster Juice is?
It's just a restaurant chain that has smoothies and whatnot.
Offering $36 an hour to a foreign worker.
If you work 2,000 hours a year, which is sort of a full-time job, that's a $72,000 a year job.
Are you telling me there's no Canadians who would work that?
Here's a reference to that number right now.
These job postings, I think it was, was it Booster Juice, the one you came up with yesterday?
$36 an hour.
Booster Juice offering $36 an hour to a temporary foreign worker.
They specifically say they want it to be a temporary foreign worker.
Why aren't they offering those jobs to Canadian kids first?
And I'm not now speaking about any particular employer, but we know that there's a lot of abuse in this system where the employers are asking for some of the wage back from their worker.
I'm not alleging that for booster juice, but it is happening out there.
It is a very exploitative system that has allowed corporate elites to profit off of driving wages down and driving jobs out.
And we're going to put an end to it.
Yeah, I like the idea of name and shame.
And it sounds like they've been doing a little bit of that, but I think they have to formalize it.
I think they have to go heavy on it.
And I think they have to zero in on one particular company and just beat the living daylights out of them pour encourage les otres.
And here's what I mean by that.
What is the downside to using temporary foreign workers in your restaurant?
First of all, everyone else is doing it.
So if you don't do it, you might have an extra payroll cost.
Second of all, we've all become numb to it, I suppose.
Oh, that's how things are now.
So there's no cost.
But if we can impose a cost on corporate behemoths like Tim Hortons, a social cost, a PR cost, maybe they would say, all right, we've got a choice here.
Hire a Canadian at maybe a dollar or two more an hour or have our market share, sorry, market capitalization beat up.
Just like, I mean, Americans are really good at this.
Remember a few weeks ago when Cracker Barrel, the restaurant, if you've never been there, I recommend a next trip to the USA.
They hired a new CEO that was very woke and got rid of, there's a picture of a white guy and a barrel on their logo and they purged it and that caused a big backlash.
Cracker Barrel lost $200 million in market cap.
That was their customers saying, what are you doing?
We like that old-timey southern flavor.
Don't go all woke on us.
It's the same thing that happened to Bud Light.
It's the same thing that happened to Jaguar.
So what if we could impose a PR cost on the worst offenders of temporary foreign workers like Tim Hortons?
That's an idea I put to Pierre Polyev, and he basically said, yes.
Now, I think he's in a position to do it at a very high level.
I think he could write a letter to the CEO and the board of directors of Tim Hortons.
By the way, if you think Tim Hortons is Canadian, you're living about 30 years in the past.
It is a foreign-owned company.
It's owned by RBI Restaurant Brands International.
I think that stands for.
And they, in turn, are owned by American investors and a large Brazilian hedge fund.
Isn't that crazy?
If you think Tim Hortons is all Canadian, you are dead wrong, my friends.
Their largest owner is in Brazil.
So not only are they pretending to be Canadian, that's what gets me.
If they said, all right, we're Brazilian, if they said we're globalists, all right, so you're being, you're admitting who you are and that's your identity and you're embracing it.
But if you fly the flag like Tim Hortons flies, but you refuse to hire Canadians, to hell with you.
That's a form of false advertising.
You're a deceiver.
I want to think some more about this.
And maybe Rebel News can get in on the action ourselves.
You know, we've got that beautiful billboard truck.
And we have used that kind of campaign against Tim Hortons before.
I don't know if you know this.
You've got to be an old-timer like me.
But 10 years ago, when Rebel News was very young, Tim Hortons did an atrocious thing.
They had these little TVs in their coffee shops back then that they would allow companies to buy ads.
So it wasn't just Tim Hortons stuff.
It was, you could be an advertiser.
You could be a bank.
They were just very quick ads.
And so I think it was Enbridge, an oil pipeline company, took out a very neutral ad, and Tim Hortons banned them.
And they made some statement about it being outside their ethical taste or something, like Tim Hortons was morally superior to Enbridge.
Coffee, Tim Hortons, which is beloved by the oil batch.
All these oil and gas guys stopped by Tim Hortons for a coffee and a donut.
And Tim Hortons basically said, F you, you're not good enough for us.
It was outrageous.
And we had a boycott Tim's campaign.
And I should tell you, look at me.
You don't get a body like this without having the odd donut.
I personally, for 10 years, have kept that ban.
In fact, that's what pushed me to get to know McDonald's coffee, which I think is actually an excellent coffee.
By the way, I don't think McDonald's is off the hook here.
I haven't checked, but it wouldn't surprise me if they have temporary foreign workers too.
I think any company that emphasizes its Canadian-ness should be held to account if they have an anti-Canadian job platform.
And I'm just thinking off the top of my head, like McDonald's, you know, the apostrophe in McDonald's is a little Canadian Maple Leaf.
Know that?
And I think every company with the Maple Leaf in their logo or that tries to brand itself as Canadian, I think they need to be named and shamed.
Naming and Shamining00:07:38
I think it should be done at the high level by people like Pierre Polyev writing to their boards of directors, but I think it should be done at the grassroots level.
And I think you can have it as a general rule of thumb, but I think the most successful way would be to focus like a laser on one or two of the worst-behaved companies.
And maybe we Canadians could try and get a little bit of that U.S. consumer rebellion like happened to Cracker Barrel or Bud Light.
And even what's going on in the UK right now, you know, I love to follow the battles in the UK, and there's a real response to the government.
People are flying their national flags, the Union Jack, and then the other country flags like England and Scotland.
I think we've got to do that, and we've got to push back.
And yeah, that's my report today.
I enjoy going to these press conferences, and I try and think of a useful question.
Hopefully, you thought it was.
Cheers, sir.
Well, that's my theory: Pierre Polyev has good ideas, but they're not necessarily going to become law until one day, if that Conservative Party becomes government.
Temporary foreign workers, it would be possible to get that law passed with the current parliament.
Unlikely, because I think the Liberal Party won't do anything that Pierre Polyev wants, but there is a component of the left that actually still cares about working people.
And there is no greater threat to the income of working people than bringing in cheap foreign labor specifically to undercut Canadian labor.
I mean, it couldn't be clearer.
That is the purpose of temporary foreign workers.
It once may have been about meeting a specific shortfall of a specific kind of worker for a specific period of time, but it's no longer that.
It's just the mass importation of, I'm not going to say slave labor, but near slave laker competitors.
So there may be some socialists and NDPers and blockists that actually support Polyev's changes.
I'm not so sure.
But I think that shaming and naming the abusers of the system is something that might be able to get some change before then.
Anyways, I went outside and I bumped into Michelle Gardner-Rempel, the immigration critic of the Conservative Party, and we spoke for a few minutes about her view.
Here's how that went.
Nice to see you.
Thanks for taking a moment with us.
Yeah, no problem.
Nice to see you too.
I love the idea of naming and shaming because a lot of these companies really wrap themselves in the Canadian flag, and yet they have an anti-Canadian hiring plan.
What can you do?
Well, you know, obviously I'm going to start by saying the Liberals are enabling this behavior, right?
So we're starting with announcing that we're going to be very, very massively pushing for the abolition of this program in the House of Commons.
So that's step one, right?
Because you have to look at it from both ways.
But yeah, I've already been out there looking at some of these really egregious examples.
I actually think it was one of your reporters or editors had one that I was going to post yesterday.
There's a school and a private school in, I think it was Oakville, that was hiring a teacher as a temporary foreign worker.
So, yeah, of course, these, like, you know, there used to be a social contract where employers would offer Canadians, young Canadians, their first jobs.
They would be, you know, danny and building a skill domestic labor for like my first job was at an ice cream shop.
Right?
I learned a lot of skills there, but that's not happening anymore.
And so, yeah, these employers shouldn't be using this program.
It should be abolished.
But, you know, from a parliamentary perspective, the liberals shouldn't be allowing this, right?
I agree with you.
And if the consumers form government, there'll be a lot of changes you can just make.
But I think until then, your power is your rhetorical power, your moral power.
I was going to disagree with you a bit on that because I actually think you can move the chains from the opposition bench.
It is going to be very difficult.
I'm personally ran naked, and so is Pierre.
Very difficult for the liberals to justify keeping this program.
There's no justification for it.
And I think that this is something that just resonates across party lines, too, because there's people of all political strength that can't find a job right now.
So fair enough, in terms of, it's been interesting to watch just sort of average Canadians put little short videos on X, on YouTube, on different, you know, I've seen them on Instagram.
I'm just taking one of these posts.
Like you can go on, there's numerous websites that are aggregating these jobs that are being offered and then just showing them and going, well, I've seen Reddit posts, right?
So everybody can do that.
We will continue to do that.
And I'm going to continue to hold the immigration minister to account.
How tough are you willing to get with a company?
I use Tim Hortons as an example.
By the way, they're majority foreign owners.
Are you willing to call for a boycott of Tim Hortons?
Are you willing to write a scorching letter to their CEO?
Because I think if Canadians had like a Bud Light consumer rebellion, that would make these companies wise up.
But if you're not going to get tough and you're going to be diplomatic, I don't know if it's going to move the needle.
How tough are you going to get?
Well, I know you're pretty tough, and you started that here.
I have to be tough on the liberals, right?
That's why my constituents pay my salary.
But again, I agree with you.
Like these employers, like it's an egregious abuse of it.
That's why Pierre put the, you know, the Tim Hortons as the example in his announcement today.
What was it, over a thousand?
Why she said, listen.
But what I can say is this, you know, you want tough?
I got to get tough for the House of Commons, I suppose.
So, Lena, I'm looking for you this fall.
That's Michelle Rampelgarner, the immigration critic for the Conservatives.
Funny enough, after that press conference, she made a tweet showing me that indeed she was naming and shaming individual companies that were preferring foreign cheap workers to Canadian workers.
In this case, she mentioned a particular pizza parlour.
So I like the fact that they're willing to do that.
Now, I think they can be tougher.
And I think Rebel News itself may well have a role here.
I just don't think it should be completely scot-free that companies can say, no, I'm not going to hire any Canadians.
I'm going to bring in foreign workers to undercut them.
I just don't think that should be allowed.
And right now it is, shall we say, all the negative externalities are foisted on the community.
So Tim Hortons can hire only foreigners.
And what's the harm there?
Well, the harm is to young Canadians who don't get a job.
There's some other harm.
I mean, customer service typically goes down.
People feel alienated.
But like I say, Tim Hortons can externalize all those problems onto the community.
And since all the other companies are doing the same thing, no one really, you know, it's just, it's the worst of all worlds.
But if Tim Hortons or another company like that could be made to internalize the costs, if the community shunned them, if their revenues went down, if customers started to boycott them, then they would have pros and cons now for dealing with temporary foreign workers, not just pros.
The cons would be patriotic Canadians simply refusing to do business with them.
What I'm talking about is a consumer boycott like they had for Bud Light.
Anyways, that was an interesting conversation with Pierre Polyev and Michelle Gardner-Rempel, and I was glad I went there.
And I suppose they had sort of talked about those things already, but I feel like, you know, I certainly clarified my own thinking about it.
And I think I got them a little bit excited about going on the warpath using their bully pulpit against these companies.
Anyways, I came back to the office, and what do you know?
Why Psychiatry Jobs Are For Sale00:05:56
The regime media put to Mark Carney, the prime minister, Pierre Polyev's proposals.
And I thought, well, you know, the Liberals have sort of walked away, at least rhetorically, from their extreme immigration.
They're still going full tilt in reality, but they're now at least acknowledging they went too far.
Boy, was I wrong.
Mark Carney, I'll let you see it for yourself.
Here he is saying he wants more cheap foreign exploitable workers, not less.
He wants more temporary foreign workers.
See for yourself.
Take a look.
Mr. Polyev called this morning on the government to scrap the temporary foreign worker program.
Is it time to shut the program down?
Well, I would say the following, which is that that program has a role.
It has to be focused in terms of its role.
And it's part of what we're reviewing.
It's part of what we will be discussing, how well the temporary foreign worker program is working and how our overall immigration system is working.
We've been absolutely clear as a government that we want and we're putting in place policies so that the overall level of immigration as a proportion of the population will decline from around 7% today to around 5% several years from now.
Now, the biggest contributor to immigration is not temporary foreign workers.
It's a variety of other factors.
And I will say, I visit in Francis because elsewhere across the country, their number one issue is tariffs, and their number two issue is access to temporary foreign workers.
And for the moment, it's one of the great demands of the Quebec government, and it's one of the great demands of the Quebec companies.
You have to keep this program, not eliminate this program.
As a whole, it's clear that we can improve our overall immigration policies work.
We're working on that, and we're setting clear goals to adjust.
How tone-deaf do you have to be?
I mean, Mark Carney himself is an oligarch.
I suspect he's a billionaire, given that he has 600 different companies in his portfolio.
It's crazy.
And he's asked about temporary foreign workers, and you just know where he's coming from because he says, well, actually, no, I asked all the big industrialists, I asked all the big employers in Quebec, and if anything, they want more foreign workers, so we're going to do it.
Hang on.
So you spoke to other billionaires and other oligarchs and other industries, and they all agreed cheap labor is better.
So, well, case closed, I guess.
I mean, it would be like saying, well, I talked to the landlords and they like high rent.
So I'm just doing what they say.
Well, you didn't take into account the other part of that, which is Canadians won't be hired.
You're driving down wages.
I mean, just the ease with which he just says, oh, well, other billionaires like low wages, cheap labor, sort of an indentured servant class.
So duh, of course.
There's not even a flicker of recognition that maybe there's other stakeholders in our community like Canadian citizens who might have a say.
And there's no flicker of recognition that temporary foreign workers typically were brought in to help pick a crop that needed to be picked for a few weeks and then it was done and then they went home to, say, Mexico, where a lot of them came from.
No, I reject the idea that you can bring in temporary foreign workers to just generally replace low-income workers and that first rung on the ladder of life.
Those are in some ways the most important job.
Which is the most important job in your mind?
The first job that a young person gets that may be just above minimum wage, but it teaches them to show up on work on time.
If you're in the food service industry in a clean uniform, hold your tongue if there's a customer service moment that frustrates you.
Work for the good of the companies.
Don't steal.
Have some teamwork.
Like there's so much you learn in that first job that, you know, 10, 20, 30 years later in life, you probably don't think of it that way, but it puts you on the path.
And if we've cut out that first rung on the ladder of life and we've given away to foreign workers just to save huge employers a few dollars an hour, that's just outrageous.
I think this is not just an economic battle and a way of solving our youth unemployment.
It's a moral battle.
Imagine saying, no, we prefer, we prefer foreign indentured workers to our own.
That's the Liberal Party today, at least under the billionaire oligarch of Mark Carney.
Last point, I want to share with you a website that I was sent today that I did not know existed.
And here, just take a look at it and we'll click through some of it.
It is an official government website.
This is not someone who set this up.
This is the government of Canada.
You can see by the web domain.
And it has thousands of jobs for which they are hiring foreigners.
And what's so interesting is it's everything.
There's a job in there I saw for a psychiatrist.
They're willing to pay up to $400,000.
Are there no Canadians who will be a psychiatrist for $400,000?
But you also have on the other end of the spectrum the most menial jobs, the entry-level jobs for a pittance.
Basically, the entire country is for sale to foreigners who want to come here and to be entry-level or top-level.
And you come straight into our country and basically buy your way in.
If you're a Canadian citizen looking for work, well, it sucks to be you.
I think this is a critical issue of our time.
The Entire Country for Sale00:01:47
And let me quote Mark Andreasen, who was asked, why are so many young people communists these days?
Why are so many people rejecting capitalism?
I see it.
I was in Montreal the other day and I literally saw posters on the street for communism.
Now, of course, those were paid to be put up, but why is it appealing to people?
Why is it ringing true?
As Mark Andreason said, young people, their only interaction with capitalism these days is negative.
They'll never buy a house.
They'll just be renters.
They can't afford houses.
They'll never be able to pay off their student debt.
And in the United States, that debt, you can't erase it through bankruptcy.
So your only experience with capital and capitalism is negative.
You can never get out of debt.
You can never save enough to buy a house.
Your jobs will be pitiful.
As the World Economic Forum says, you'll own nothing and you'll be happy.
Well, they're not happy about it.
We have got to realign things.
You will not have support for a free market economy if you're bringing in the world's cheapest laborers to compete.
