Made in China, (Buyer Beware)

[jcoberley]

I have been telling people buy american all most all of my live. I have talked, preached and yelled. Save yours and your loved ones jobs. Look out for tomorrow and next year. I was the fool that always throwed my money away buying american made. But now people are starting to see what I seen years ago. Its almost to late to try and buy american. Tools, cars, tv's, radio's, cd players, tires, vacum cleaners, tosters, washers and dryers! And I havn't even started to make a scratch in the list. I don't know of much of anyting anymore. It was a loosing battle and I lost as did my family and yours. Maybe a few jig heads however just where do you think they bought the hooks from? Steel mills have closed. Foundrys are a thing of the past also. It really consernes me but then what did I know. No one wants mfg in their area but hey walmart and target is ok. Wake up america. We need better jobs and service is not where thair at. Hvy ind. is the heart of jobs and we sold the out for cheeper!

Hey guys,

a little more food for thought ?

Our current president...is he there for the duration? appears he may be.

Who is next in line if he goes ? gotta feeling he don't want nothing to do with it.

Who's next in line...Nancy Pelosi... anyone think this administration can swallow that one?

Did Bush or Congress change the term limit on Presidents? His term is over in 08 no matter what. I have a feeling he will leave the furniture when he leaves office too unlike the last one!

last one had to take some stuff...had his dna all over it, lmao

You know we had a war over taxes years ago. I would hate to see that happen again! I ask my CPA a few years ago what the avg American paid in taxes and WOW it will piss ya off. He said if you start from scrach like grain, wood, metal ore things like that. And worked it up from start to finish encluding land fill it was 93% That encluded trucking, mfg, wholesale, retail sales tax. trash truck employees and all!

So I say we need to just give the last 7% to them and call it good!!!!!!!!!! Go back to the caveman and indains ways!!!!

If they aren't willing to clean up their act (they have proved they aren't) we should just exclude China from our list of approved import countries. Especially for food, medicine and structural items. Anything that can possibly endanger American lives.

My own research indicates that is very near the mark. When one reflects that the reason the American Colonists revolted and tossed the British Empire out was for a VERY minor tax on tea and that the Founding Fathers had the wisdom to reserve the right to bear arms to the citizen for the express purpose of defending himself against oppressive government whether from without or within then the reflective citizen must wonder what has happened to emasculate us one and all.

Perhaps it would be instructive to think on the following words from our Declaration of Independence:

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness."

Am I the only one who thinks it time to abolish a system that has became far more oppressive that was that of England and institute a new one that is more 'likely to effect our Safety and Happiness'? CC

For an education in how our form of government came about that will also reveal how the current repressionist regimes differ from that envisioned by our forefathers see: http://patriotpost.us/histdocs/

Thank you Kind Sirrah!

I would point out one more thing----slavery takes many forms, taxes being amongst the most insidious and equally as onerous as physical bondage. By that standard we are enslaved, one and all. CC
