Down on Corporate America

CORPORATE AMERICA IS KILLING OUR COUNTRY (OPINIONS PLEASE)


I hope everyone had a safe and enjoyable Holiday, and yes it wasn't long enough.

As everyone knows our economy is not doing very well at this time and two reasons would be because of Oil, and Corporate America. As we continue to fight over in the Middle East our country has a Super Power in the shadows, (CHINA). If you look at all the products being purchased in this country from house-hold goods, clothes, shoes, tools, toys and so much more, 90% comes from CHINA.

CORPORATE AMERICA continues to move factories and businesses over seas because the labor is cheaper. Less companies and factories in America means less jobs, less jobs means more unemployment, more unemployment means a down economy. Not only that, the factories and businesses in CHINA, MEXICO, INDIA, ETC, employ children and workers that work 10-12 hours per day just to eat for the day. It's all about the almighty dollar.

Don't get me wrong,I own several businesses and buy wholesale merchandise from China, the reason? No one else makes the products we sell. Nothing is made in America anymore and if the package has printed on it made in America, once you open it underneath some where else it says made in CHINA.

What can we do to fix this problem? Why can't America products compete with foreign prices? Should America start building Companies and Factories and cut back on importing products from other Counties? What is our solution? Should America start drilling for oil in our own country and employ workers? Should America stop buying all this oil from the Middle East?

The people of America need to get together and find a solution to our problem and address congress.
