Well, he couldn't have made his point then, could he? Why would "hiring" have anything to do with you? You're unemployed and unemployable. |

You're unemployed and unemployable. I hire Americans and pay American wages and taxes. I wouldn't hire offshore even if it made my company more competitive. |

Why do you buy off-shore screwdrivers vs. buying US screwdrivers? You're fixated on screwdrivers. I also drive a German car that's worth thousands of screwdrivers. I have a rental right now that was made by Chervrolet. It's a piece of ****. Poor products don't deserve support, no matter where they're made. |

Poor products don't deserve support, no matter where they're made. It's likely those German screwdrivers, as well as your car, was made by unionized workers. In Europe, that usually means the workers are paid decently, with good benefits. In the U.S., for the most part, assembly line jobs are shipped to third world countries where the workers are exploited. I hope the U.S. auto industry recovers. Unfortunately, many of the new unionized workers at U.S. auto plants have been "tiered," in that they will never make much more than subsistence wages, with greatly reduced benefits. I'm going to have to buy another computer printer shortly. The best I can hope for is that it won't be made in communist china or communist vietnam. Oh, and the new country we created - Iraq - is cracking down on its unionized workers, and these are workers in government-controlled unions. We've got quite accomplishment in Iraq. We ought to rename it the Bush-Cheney Abortion. |

Are you planning on purchasing a GM/Chrysler/Ford product? Didn't think so. |

Sell your euro-trash auto and buy American and support Americans working on the line. My eurotrash car was manufactured in 1986 and does not depreciate. Am I halucinating or are you a member of the crowd who screams about union labor costing too much? You want me to support them? I'd be pleased to support them if the designers of the cars they build would put out a decent product. |

Because I want people to think that I am the best, and I own the best of everything. It's that damned narcissist problem. |
