Auto Workers...

To the contrary, I work in a non-union company and we've had union employees come to work for us because they are treated better. This may not be the rule, but to suggest that employees who do not belong to a union are abused is pure folly. Smart businesses know that good employees make all the difference.

 

What about stupid companies that make crappy products but are propped up by the government?

They'll either eventually burn or become ours?

If you drive a foreign car, you lose all right to complain about the economy since you are no help to it whatsoever, traitor.

Well, that was 60 years ago and we had just nuked Japan...twice. So they needed a little help. We told them to build crappy cars and electronics and the rest is history. They now act like they are friends with us until they can enslaven us in the near future.

 

See how good nuking someone turns out? It's a lesson we can all learn from.

And how come none of the candidates have focused on 'buy American' as one of the things we need to do. I'd like to see one of them set up a webpage with companies that can be ordered from that were strictly American. It would be neat if the site can record your purchases and the government could give a tax rebate to folk who focused on buying from American companies who make their products in America.

 

The reason is the list would be too short and difficult to prove. What is American anymore? I doubt there is a manufacturer left in America that does not use a raw material or production part made in another country. Americans may talk about buying American, but their purchasing habits say otherwise.

There's a reason for that. Oftentimes cheaper and almost always better quality. Cars for sure. Not to hard to figure out.

and most foreign products cost less due to cheaper labor.
