Made in China

[ISOM]

75% to 95% of Wal-Mart's merchandise is made in China.
Our last local furnature manufacturer is moving to "the far east. China?

The only way to get our economy back to the way it was is to go back to a fair trade system in which we tax imported goods from countries that don't pay their workers a decent wage. Free trade sounds good but it is horrible for US production.

People can talk about only buying american made stuff but those that do are few and far between. Even when you do buy something that has made in the US on it, that just means that is was assembled here, not that all the components were made here.

I work for Boeing we can't even build the F15 here,
the Isralies and koreans build half of it.

You and I have a choice. When you go into any store, if it says "made in China", you don't have to buy it. Not only don't buy it, but tell the store manager why you refuse to buy it. Mr. Ross Perot explained all this to the public years ago - they thought he was crazy. He knew exactly what he was talking about - these so called treatys for open trade will kill this country. The top management here will be fat and happy, while the workers are dumped out on the side of the road. Result, more unemployment and more crime. Look at the textile industry, the shoe companys, the TV's, radios, cars, tools, etc. - you can't compete with someone who makes $2.00 an hour. You still have a choice - use it.

Amen, Brother. You are truly my hero. Like I tell everybody else (aka the whiners), "DON'T BLAME ME I VOTED FOR ROSS PEROT". They still don't get it.
