Is it a coincidence the President, VP and Rumsfeld,to name a few, are multi-millionaires?

As to Sun...How is Sun so different from any other US corp that so eagerly lobbyed for tax breaks off the broken backs of the American public whose tax dollars support this. Agilent, the HP spinoff has been outsourcing its work to foreign firms rather than using US firms. HP has been laying off thousands and giving early retirement to others. Nike has their shoes manufactured overseas. When the president of university of Oregon sided with some group of protestors over this fact, Phil Knight told the school they would not get $30 million in funding they'd been expecting. It took a lot of a**kissing and schmoozing and capitulation to get the swoosh backed money back into the school. The American soccer players appeared on the Today show today, all wearing the Nike swoosh on their shirts. It's real Americans wearing foreign made clothes...or else.
