    and about the outsourcing of jobs..i own a scrap yard..and i recently was hired to clean out a factory that had recently closed..now they didnt close because the economy was hitting them hard..they closed because of the union..they had 15 days a year they could call and say reason beyond my control and they couldnt get in trouble for missing work..along with all holidays. they were making close to 55 dollars an hour (thats with their benefits added in other wise 20-22) and they still werent happy they wanted 20 days instead of 15 and wanted 60 instead of 55..well the owner decided to close the factory and move it to india..he didnt outsource the job...the greedy union members outsourced their own jobs..they had it made and now they all unemployed...its not just the top rich guys who are greedy..

    Man I am totally with you!! We need to take all of the money from these greedy rich people! And the best part is that after we take their money then their stupid businesses and corporations will go bankrupt and all of those stupid middle-class and working poor people won't have jobs anyore. Won't that be great?!!!

    Then we can all be a bunch of poor, unemployed losers sitting around singing "We Are the World" waiting for the government check to arrive!! Oh, wait. If the rich people don't have any more money and the middle class and working poor are unemployed, who will pay the taxes that funds our unemployed unproductive lifestyle? Who will the government tax so that we can continue to do nothing with our lives but whine and cry that someone else hasn't made it better for us?

    I think I have found a weakness in our master plan...

    Well Said !

    "about the jobs and the ins.,and every thing eles what the rich are doing. not enough jobs in this country. "

    The term "buying American" is contradictory. You would be hard pressed to find anything that is "made in America" that does not have parts or componenets made in another country.

    A t-shirt or jeans made in America? Sure. But take a look at just your personal self. That cell phone in your pocket, that car alarm/auto start key fob on your key ring, that watch on your wrist, the computer/smart phone that you are accessing this website with...very little is truly made in America. Even Harley-Davidson motorcycles have parts that were produced in foreign countries.

    Call me crazy but I don't see the problem.

    1) If I owned a major corporation then I would go where the labor is cheapest. That isn't America. Why criticize them for just being business savvy?

    2) Last I checked, the doors were opened to send jobs overseas by a little ditty called NAFTA. Then the creator of NAFTA went and made China (our top competitior in most areas) our most favored trade partner and made it easier for China to send their products over here for us to buy, further weakening our own businesses and forcing them to look for ways to cut production costs (see #1).

    Seriously. What are these people the most upset over? Jobs going overseas and companies getting bailed out. Who did those things? Clinton and Obama. Whose fault is it that they are/were in office? The people who are now complaining. Seems a little stupid to me.

    Check again! NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement) has nothing to do with China or Clinton or Obama. I believe it was signed into law by George HW Bush.

    I love how you jump from NAFTA to China to the Dems all in one post. Are you purposely trying to mislead people or just grossly misinformed?

    You are correct on this. You would have a hard time finding true made in America. A lot of stuff is assembled in America with foreign parts i.e. cars, clothing ect.

    No , it was signed into law by Clinton but I think it dealt with Canada, America and Mexico.

    While I won't agree that we need to something about rich people, it is time that we do something to keep corporations out of the reach of politicians. For far to long corporations and wealthy have had politicians in their pockets, influencing things like tax codes. I'm a fan of the free market and capitalism, but at some point the back scratching between politicians and the wealthy/corporations needs to be checked.

    not to stick up for clinton, but I think it was bush and obama that were in office during the most noted bail outs/TARP plans.
