“Crony Corporatism today is an outsourcing of American jobs plus walmartization of the whole country” – I.G.
The Middle Class Action Project, Staten Island, NY
Below is a partial list of Staten Island Companies that made things right here at home. They all produced good manufacturing jobs that undergirded a thriving middle class on Staten Island for decades. Now they are gone. The same has happened across this country, gutting the middle class of good-paying, often unionized jobs, the wage gains of which rippled though the economy during a period when prosperity was widely shared in this country. Restoring these kinds of jobs and reinstating the middle class prosperity is what the Middle Class Action Project seeks to achieve.
