Subject: RE: Help: US and Cuba
What Cal inplied, and what I infered is, that business is the ONLY business of America. Of course business creates work, Government doesn't, but, what pisses me off is all these businesses (thanks to Reaganomics) are going to Mexico to get their products made for a fraction of the cost they would pay here. Now, if the price of that mower with the Briggs & Stratton engine was to drop and reflect the drop in the cost of producing that mower, fine. But guess what? the price did not decline..it went up! Who benefits? the stock holders and owners of such businesses. All they care about is their bottom line, to hell with the working man. No country can survive for long without a manufacturing base, and, we are sending our foundation to Mexico with the help of our elected leaders. It's sad that so many of us cant see what is happening. My best friend just bought a new Hyundai because it was cheaper than a Ford, but he will cry like a baby about feeding the unemployed. And, whats worse is HE IS A DEMOCRAT!! That should warm the cockles of your republican heart!!
