One small business went out that was building construction materials. However Lowes and Home Depot are still around. Another that excavated rock for building in other parts of the Country shut down. I hadn't really taken note until today that all the Craftsmen and Tradesmen don't seem to be around the area. I don't know but they probably went to where there was some construction. Supplier Side Economics/Government is all about the wealth of those that seized American Industry and is shipping away production and cutting wages and importing near slave laborers while raising their compensation by leaps and bounds. Public Traded Corporations are really controlled for the fortunes of the few running them. Globalism is Feudalism. They already have the third world in their grip. They cam for America's wealth and figure they still have a good run to go here where there are resources to be exported and a talented people that can be forced to work for slave labor wages to survive. America is becoming a colony to Globalism that is not a Country but a control mechanism for the power and wealth of the Global/Foreign Merchant and Banker. If their first allegiance is to Globalism then they have no allegiance to America. They have a variety of terms they sling, as a force to silence, Americans such as Isolationist. They are making decisions in Washington for what is good for Globalism not Americans. That is their mantra they believe that for the good of the Global Economy will cower and shut Americans up Some how globalism will benefit us when our economy and life style reach parity with the lowest common denominator of the third world. We do not desire to have our life style and economy reduced to the lowest common denominator. |

Lawyers are a virus that has infected every nook and cranny of the country sucking our blood like bedbugs. I still bet big city lawyers make more than the ambulance chasers we have here, simply because they have deeper pockets to pick. A Lawyer in a small Town decided he wanted the local boat launch and recreation of a neighborhood. Everyone, in the county, used it . There were no public hearings no notification to the residents..nothing. One day he told one Resident that he couldn't come back there again. he fenced it off. He sold the tractor and mower etc that the neighbors had kept there, to maintain it and sold them. Some of The Residents sought the services of another Attorney. No one would take it saying there was nothing they could do. In short it seems that they wouldn't do anything to one of their small cliche. Another Attorney got his car washed regularly at a local car wash, in a southern city. The car wash offered a free rewash of any vehicle, if it rained within it 24 hours. The Attorney started getting his car washed and parking it in the garage and taking his wife's car to have it washed .. The Owner caught on and said he couldn't do that. The lawyer said what's the difference. So the Owner quit giving coupons for the free re wash. Another Resident of a small town wanted the local boat launch and dock etc of another neighborhood. He wasn't a Lawyer but was in tight with the small cliche. No hearing no nothing He paid some taxes and took possession. he probably doesn't wonder why no one speaks to him. Trying to get an Attorney to rectify the situation was again fruitless. Two of the incidents were over five years ago. The other not so long ago. I know or knew many fine Attorneys etc but some of the new breed get into the profession purely to feather their pockets any way they can. |

I look for alternatives whenever possible. It's getting harder every day. Maybe it is time for a real thrust to buy American but that never really takes off when you see the price tags. Really? I bought a 23 year old german car rather than a new American car. Why? Quality. The 23 year old car rides, drives better despite lacking 23 years of technical progress. The 23 year old car was more expensive than most modern American boxes but it won't depreciate like the American pieces of crap. I'd much rather purchase a superior American product, even at a higher price. They aren't offered anymore because cheap **** imported by Walmart, Target and others have flooded the shelves. |

It has to be pointed out that the greatest income disparity is in the biggest cities so there is not going to be one answer. Another interesting thing is the two richest Americans (Gates and Buffett) do not live in a big city. Gates' house is near Seattle. Buffet lives outside of Omaha. You expect them to live in the inner city? |

A UAW worker in Detroit or Indiana was making twice what a red state worker makes. That was Harry's point. Detroit is blue as is most of that area where the big factories were (Ohio, Indiana, Michigan), http://www-personal.umich.edu/~mejn/election/2008/ The jobs went to Tennessee, Georgia, Canada or Mexico. Have you seen the "content" sticker on an "American" car lately? They are usually about 40-50% American. If it is a foreign brand, manufactured in the US there still is less than 50% US content and the assembly will be in a red state. Nope... get the facts, then type.. http://mediamatters.org/columns/200811250012 |

Not as many and not as rich Is it because blue states are just more packed with more natural and business resources or is it that blue citizens have made 'em that way? Interesting question. It has to be pointed out that the greatest income disparity is in the biggest cities so there is not going to be one answer. Another interesting thing is the two richest Americans (Gates and Buffett) do not live in a big city. Gates' house is near Seattle. Buffet lives outside of Omaha. You expect them to live in the inner city? 'Near' and 'in' are two entirely different things. Do you expect them to live NEAR the inner city? Happy now? |

I bought a 23 year old german car rather than a new American car. Why? Quality. The 23 year old car rides, drives better despite lacking 23 years of technical progress. The 23 year old car was more expensive than most modern American boxes but it won't depreciate like the American pieces of crap. I'd much rather purchase a superior American product, even at a higher price. They aren't offered anymore because cheap **** imported by Walmart, Target and others have flooded the shelves. You just said two different things. He just loves his German screw drivers. I wonder if there are any quality American toolmakers left? |

I wonder if there are any quality American toolmakers left?- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - It is difficult to find a lot of items of any quality anymore, even if you spend the dollars. From clothes, to services, to restraunts... Nobody cares enough about quality to build it, and our (Americans) interest in it went out the window decades ago... |
