We’re broke!
That usually happens when you spend to much
My granddad used to have a nice saying for this one: wish in one hand, crap in the other.
Bring back businesses to America.
I’m completely series.
America is giving China the future. Stop buying everything from China.
Bring back manufacturing to America.
Too many Americans still have some money left in their pockets. The politicians want all of it. Stick ‘em up!
Making the red side match the black side is boring and for squares. Just give us your money.
the Democrats
Sooner or later they will run out of other people’s money.
The damned Laffer curve should be outlawed.
It is not what you steal, ... er ... “tax” ... It is what you spend. STOP SPENDING!
Based upon the above and given that the employed population is at its lowest percentage in decades, is there any question that the Democrat Party is aiming to make the dependent class its permanent voting majority. The increased revenues desired by the Democrats is aimed towards expanded entitlements, not infrastructure or defense (based upon 5 decades of experience!) Obamacare is being daily demonstrated to be a money sink incapable of self-sustaining and thus should be considered as another entitlement program!
When you look at our current economic malaise through this viewpoint, it looks like a purposeful plan. Can you say the ClowardPiven strategy? Thanks Glen Beck for your publicizing this over the years!
What's the incentive...unions,EPA,OSHA,DOL,IRS,Taxes ??? Not too many reasons to support US manufacturing.
Especially if you do not have the money to pay for unnecessary items
Then America is over.
We have crossed the rubicon. America now is number two in global exporting.
This happened very quickly, and the trend is strongly against America now.
China is rapidly building up a global military, and has approximately 5 TIMES AS MANY PEOPLE as America.
China does not trade the same way America does. China acquires... Manufactures and sells. All of it, just done by Chinese workers.
So what we are doing is giving China everything.
China now is leading. And rapidly gaining.
I know we haven’t thought this out, but the future is very, very dark for America without jobs.
America needs to return American factories.
Now.
You should appreciate this email I rec’d this morning;)
****Birth of a New Tradition
As the holidays approach, the giant Asian factories are kicking into high gear to provide Americans with monstrous piles of cheaply produced goods — merchandise that has been produced at the expense of American labor.
This year will be different. This year Americans will give the gift of genuine concern for other Americans. There is no longer an excuse that, at gift giving time, nothing can be found that is produced by American hands. Oh.... Yes there is! It is time to think outside the box, people. Who says a gift needs to fit in a shirt box, wrapped in Chinese produced wrapping paper?
Everyone — yes EVERYONE gets their hair cut. How about gift certificates from your local American hair salon or barber?
Gym membership? It’s appropriate for all ages who are thinking about some health improvement.
Who wouldn’t appreciate getting their car detailed? Small, American owned detail shops and car washes would love to sell you a gift certificate or a book of gift certificates.
Are you one of those extravagant givers who think nothing of plunking down the Benjamins on a Chinese-made flat-screen TV? Perhaps that grateful gift receiver would like his driveway sealed, or lawn mowed for the summer, or driveway plowed all winter, or games at the local golf course.
There are a gazillion owner-run restaurants — all offering gift certificates. And, if your intended isn’t the fancy eatery sort, what about a half dozen breakfasts at the local breakfast joint.
Remember, folks this isn’t about big National chains — this is about supporting your home town Americans with their financial lives on the line to keep their doors open.
How many people couldn’t use an oil change for their car, truck or motorcycle, done at a shop run by the American working guy?
Thinking about a heartfelt gift for mom? Mom would LOVE the services of a local cleaning lady for a day.
My computer could use a tune-up, and I KNOW I can find some young guy who is struggling to get his repair business up and running.
OK, you were looking for something more personal. Local crafts people spin their own wool and knit them into scarves. They make jewelry, and pottery and beautiful wooden boxes.
Plan your holiday outings at local, owner operated restaurants and leave your server a nice tip.
And, how about going out to see a play or ballet at your hometown theatre. Musicians need love too, so find a venue showcasing local bands.
Honestly people, do you REALLY need to buy another ten thousand Chinese lights for the house? When you buy a five dollar string of light, about fifty cents stays in the community.
If you have those kinds of bucks to burn, leave the mailman, trash guy or babysitter a nice BIG tip.
You see, Christmas is no longer about draining American pockets so that China can build another glittering city. Christmas is now about caring about US (We the People), encouraging American small businesses to keep plugging away to follow their dreams. And, when we care about other Americans, we care about our communities, and the benefits come back to us in ways we could not imagine.
THIS is the new American Christmas tradition!!
Please pass this around. We can make a difference. Can’t we?
“If you lack the courage to start, you have already finished.”
Sounds great in theory and we will always have some level of business activity because of population numbers, but as a businessman why in the world would I invest in the USA. The current trend is down and is only going to get worse.
The govt is taking over healthcare.
Taxes keep going up and govt regulations are becoming unbearable.
The workforce is not as highly motivated as other areas of the world.
Political corruption is as bad as a lot of banana republics.
The whole idea that business would come back to the USA denies the motivating forces of profit and markets.
You can not tax the unemployed if they don’t earn any money. However unemployment checks are taxable and have to be declared on the 1040 forms
Unions are the reason so my manufacturers moved overseas
Just saying, eventually the Chinese will control it, if it is being sent to China.
Just saying.
America made a great amount of money, cooperating with China.
But that has now changed. China is now leading America is world trade.
That is a (significant) change.
Bring back American businesses.
Now.
