John Smith started the day early having set his alarmclock
(MADE IN JAPAN )
for 6 am ..
While his coffeepot
(MADE IN CHINA)
was perking, he shaved with his
electric razor
(MADE IN HONG KONG)
He put on a
dress shirt
(MADE IN SRI LANKA),
designer jeans
(MADE IN SINGAPORE)
and
tennis shoes
(MADE IN KOREA)
After cooking his breakfast in his new
electric skillet
(MADE IN INDIA)
he sat down with his
calculator
(MADE IN MEXICO)
to see how much he could spend today. After setting his
watch
(MADE IN TAIWAN )
to the radio
(MADE IN INDIA )
he got in his car
(MADE IN GERMANY )
filled it with GAS
(from Saudi Arabia )
and continued his search
for a good paying AMERICAN JOB.
At the end of yet another discouraging
and fruitless day
checking his
Computer
( made in MALAYSIA ),
John decided to relax for a while.
He put on his sandals
(MADE IN BRAZIL ),
poured himself a glass of
wine
(MADE IN FRANCE )
and turned on his
TV
(MADE IN INDONESIA ),
and then wondered why he can't
find a good paying job
in AMERICA
AND NOW HE'S HOPING HE CAN GET HELP FROM A PRESIDENT

mk, Smartass Oracle 2012/07/09 17:24:57"Made in America" is a thing of the past ... get used to it
Obama was not born in Kenya, get used to it.
A: Taxes and (excessive) regulations.
Contact your Representative and Senators and urge them to co-sponsor (and push for passage) H.R. 25 and S. 13.
With what we've got now... I sure do miss him....
We here in America must have it good, because we arn't willing to take less to keep those jobs here at home, and i can understand both sides of the arguement, but bottom line is the ones who get the jobs are the ones who will take less than $20 dollars an hour to make them, and yupp, business is greedy, but business calls it capitalism, so what are you gonna do, but kiss those jobs goodby.
As it gets easier and easier to do business in third world nations, Americans will have to think real hard if they want to work in America, or let America go to another nation to produce American products.
The "Made in America" era ended in the 1970's when big business was approached by foreign nations that said they could produce the same products for half the money, and it's been getting worse ever since.
Hell, right now 89% of technical support for computers is from india and other nations that charge less than the original American tech. support people.
While we...

While we Americans stand our ground and say "I won't work for less" jobs go overseas.
And the reality of it all is we here in America have relied so long on makeing the money we do, we now can't afford to make less, because everything is costing more, because we wanted more pay, and round and round it went until foreign nations stoped us cold, and now we suffer from what we caused to happen, which was driving the prices up by wanting more pay to buy our toys with. Alot of those toys are now at the pawn shops across America, and are real good deals too, Lol.
Funny how greed works against you when you hide it under the name of capitalism !
I'm with you ... time to reclaim our nation in November .. by giving the boot to Mr. Made in Kenya...
