INFANT MORTALITY! Is corporate profit more important than
U.S. infants?
How the big corporations are involved in the deaths of our
U.S. infants. Shocking statement to make and whoever states such had better be
able to prove it. Read the proof!
U.S. capitalism equates that money/profits are more
important than the deaths of our people. The salaries/bonuses of wealthy
Directors and CEO's is more important than ensuring the proper services are
available to address such a necessary issue of the deaths of infants. There is
no disagreement from U.S. individuals the most innocent and in the most need of
our protection are our infants. Then why is it that we do not hear a single
statement to address infant mortality from any of the political arenas? (Good question)!
General George Washington stated during the 1787 Constitutional
Convention:
"It
is the one of the evils of democratical governments that people, not always
seeing & frequently misled, must often feel before they can act right ---
but then evils of this nature seldom fail to work their own cure. It is to be lameneted
nevertheless that the remedies are so slow, & that those, who may wish to
apply them seasonably are not attended to."
Statistics released by a credible source, the United
Nations, World Population Prospects report (2011 revised report http://esa.un.org/unpd/wpp/Excel-Data/mortality.htm,
