American In Name Only!
Just like NAFTA gets away with flooding our markets with foreign garbage by shipping this international trash through Mexico, yet another game is afoot that circumvents our mental faculties through the use of a cleaver word and mind game!
How many products with American sounding names do you suppose make it into our markets that are in reality, totally alien? As a matter of fact, many of these American-sounding gizmos are indeed manufactured by slave (or close to it) foreign labor! ?Now, let our government show me how we can possibly compete with that??
Years back, I wrote a short piece about a sport shoe manufacturer with a Dutch-Sounding name, that sold their wares for ?BIG $$$$? here in America! A huge international corporation, that in reality, manufactured their products in Asia!
Well, this screwing of our own labor force is far more wide spread that just that one company! As a matter of fact, many a (so-called) patriotic corporation manufactures its products in Asian Slave Labor Bastions, and then send these products back here to be sold at Yankee prices. The only things that we still export in volume (in my opinion) are Foreign Aid and American blood to be spilled defending the affluence of foreign-based users who would kick us in the ass for a dime!
Another case in point:
My wife recently bought a new razor with an American name, only to find out (after reading the back of the package) that it was manufactured in China. As such, it is my opinion that, like cigarettes, all such foreign manufactured products should also carry a warning label - one that reads:
WARNING made in a foreign country at the expense of American Labor, and at the cost of your kid?s futures! The foreign nation in question also reserves the right to declare a future war against us, flood our shores with their castoffs, and to double cross us at every opportunity!
Better yet, why not just forget the name of the country of manufacture altogether and just label the imports that are drowning our Uncle Sam - ?Imported under the authority of the United Nations!? By doing this, we could satiate the greed and hunger for power of Lord Kofi and his gaggle of goons at the U.N.!
I am all for being a good world neighbor, but I?ll be damned if I will ever wear the yoke of any foreign entity!
?NOW TELL ME AGAIN, WHAT PROMPTED THE BOSTON TEA PARTY OF 16 DECEMBER 1773??
