Why do you listen to political shills on the radio? Too much time on the unemployment line? Why do you care so much about America if you have no vested interest in this great country? You just want to bring us down. Your real name should be Colonel Taliban. |

USA bad, bad. Whatever. Don't drive a Honda. You don't have any "products" - you just sit in front your computer whining and complaining. I don't drive a Honda, they are rare where I live and manufacture. In most cases, an overpriced junk car from Japan or Korea is unnecessary. Same as in your country in 3 years. You're a whiner, complainer, and apparently a liar. You're certainly anti-American. You're a loser who probably can't return even if you wanted to. Fine with me. Stay out. There's about as much chance of Kurtz being a captain of industry as there is of me spending a weekend in a motel with Penelope Cruz and Salma Hayek. -- Republicans are the Party of No: No Leaders / No Ideas / No Morals |

It's a tremendous advantage! for the rich oh...i forgot...you think wages are welfare. oh, yeah...the US. i agree the US manufacturing sector is shrinking. the right wing thinks wages are a form of welfare so they prefer to manufacture in places where slavery is legal and there are no unions, like china It's like I'm in the same movie over and over. yeah i know. you and rush keep telling us the middle class needs to be destroyed so the rich can be happy. Let's pretend you produce something, like coffee pots. Suddenly you notice most stores are handling cheaply made imported coffee pots and no one's buying yours The buyers don't care, your $30 coffee pot lasts 10 years, the $20 coffee pots last one year. "Americans" think the $20 coffee pot is "cheaper.". You 1) Close you business and pan handle, or, 2) move your production overseas. Multiply that times tens of thousands of products. Suddenly your neighborhood looks like the U.S. does now. and let's look at the real world, OK? the US middle class worker makes a coffee pot for 20% less than it cost 10 years ago. the rich factory owner sells the pot and gives precisely zero pay increases to the workers...which is what we have going today. not in germany. france. sweden. switzerland. finland. norway only in the US. and that's why you love the american rich. they're doing to the middle class what you think should be done in other countries. I couldn't care less what you buy, it's your free choice, and to suffer from the choices you make. no, we suffer from the choices YOU make as a right wing enabler of corporate thievery A mere rant - go into detail. Who stole what from whom, and how? productivity. see above I regret that event - please explain what was stolen, and how. what was stolen was the US middle class. funny you ignore the fact germany, france, sweden and switzerland dont have this problem you're kinda stupid that way. you're very emotional and dont like facts I explained that before. Europeans have a sense of nationalism; "Americans" do not. americans have a sense of nationalism. europeans do not. ever been to europe? apparently you haven't. few countries are more nationalistic than the US. what the other countries have that the US does NOT is a sense of fairness to middle class wage earners. america has a LARGE conservative base. which is pro rich. which is why the middle class is dying. If you live in the U.S, even now, you wouldn't like living almost anywhere as the "middle class" in Europe. bull**** It most likely does not cost him 20% less to produce the coffee pot than 10 years ago. And that production cost is only 20% of the sales price. So 20% less production cost, with 40% higher taxes, means the pot sells for about the same it did 10 years ago. Make it in China and the production cost is cut 80%, Presidents previous to your hated Bush gave "Most favored nation" status to China, and they get to ship here without any penalty. They cut the sales price 10% and you can not sell your American made pot. You want fairness, make the same rules for them as do for us. You want to make cars in China or Japan or South Korea, their laws require you partner with a Chinese company. Tell Toyota, et. al. which company you want to partner with. We got 3 to choose from right now. Change the laws to match theirs. I do not know where you work in Semiconductors, but you are being paid less every year as you are stupid. Those Chinese Engineers that you say do not exist are doing a better job for less money, on an H-1 visa. China has lots of engineers in China. Lots are graduates of top American universities. Tell the Legislative bodies that the budget has to be balanced, and you only get paid with money left over from a balanced budget. Not borrowing $0.46 of every $1.00 the government is spending federally. Same goes for states. |

Absolutely correct! Probably 45 of 50. Has been for a hundred years. Then, most technically educated foreign nationals go back to where the output is, and some find positions in the diminishing U.S. Fewer "Americans" are qualified, and find better use of their time playing with cell phones and watching Dancing for Dollars. correct. most americans are conservative so glorify the rich, just like you do http://www.csmonitor.com/2005/1220/p01s01-ussc.html An article on the engineer gap. |

If you live in the U.S, even now, you wouldn't like living almost anywhere as the "middle class" in Europe. Go spend a night in downtown Frankfurt, Paris, Munich, Amsterdam, see the homes and amenities, the hotel you can occupy for $200 a night. (US$, as they are worthless). In the U.S. of 25 years ago it would be considered government housing. But it's better there, right? Speaking of U.S. dollars, Philippine Banks almost never accept U.S. currency exchange any more. To get Php you need to use an ATM or find a high rate dollar exchange booth at "the market." That's impressive. |

One minor point needs to be made. It most likely does not cost him 20% less to produce the coffee pot than 10 years ago. And that production cost is only 20% of the sales price. So 20% less production cost, with 40% higher taxes, means the pot sells for about the same it did 10 years ago. "americans" believe that cost affects price; it does not. Buying red Chinese junk or Asian autos does not make the price lower, it merely helps to increase or yield a margin for the nasty corporations. Cost is 100% unrelated to price, always, there are no exceptions. Make it in China and the production cost is cut 80%, Presidents previous to your hated Bush gave "Most favored nation" status to China, and they get to ship here without any penalty. Correct - more so, nearly every foreign company assembling products (Toyota, Haier, STIHL, etc.) are foreign trade zones, eliminating all encumbrances to imported materials and components, yet "Americans" think their Asian auto is "made" in the U.S. They cut the sales price 10% and you can not sell your American made pot. You want fairness, make the same rules for them as do for us. You want to make cars in China or Japan or South Korea, their laws require you partner with a Chinese company. Tell Toyota, et. al. which company you want to partner with. We got 3 to choose from right now. Change the laws to match theirs. I do not know where you work in Semiconductors, but you are being paid less every year as you are stupid.

Tell the Legislative bodies that the budget has to be balanced, and you only get paid with money left over from a balanced budget. Not borrowing $0.46 of every $1.00 the government is spending federally. Same goes for states. The politicians tell the ignorant masses anything to get a vote - for 30 years foreign companies can ship to the U.S. but, in order of prohibition, Japan, Korea and China tell their MARKETPLACE, THE U.S., to f**k off. Ignorance is not bliss. |

Productivity does not mean more output per manhour, it means more output with LESS manpower - automation, imported cheaper materials and robotics accellerate productivity. Output of labor has declined due to automation, but the yield is of higher quality. Change the laws to match theirs. I do not know where you work in Semiconductors, but you are being paid less every year as you are stupid. really? got proof? because i'm middle class. and the middle class hasnt had a pay raise in 40 years. the wealthy had a 500% pay increase So do something useful to become "wealthy", whatever that is. no other country saw such a disparity. how do you explain that? right now your argument is taht the middle class is lazy, shiftless and doesnt even deserve to be paid why do the germans, french, etc., not have this problem even though we work more hours than they do? They are nationalistic; "Americans" buy "all Asian, all the time..." then bitch about the nondescript economy. It's laughable, and, indicates Darwin was correct. is this blowing the top of your right wing head off? |
