You are obviously very young because you have little vision you think, this week, this month, this year.

Like a child at Christmas your concern is only for what’s under the tree for you. You fail to understand that prosperity would help your business and conversely economic hard times will hurt your business. Unlike you I have worked in manufacturing, I have worked with both foreign and domestic companies. You are an importer not a manufacturer and you are small time, I can tell that because if you had a product of any true merit the Asian supplier would steal your idea and you would wake up one day to find that you were competing against yourself in the market place.

Of course they would have a huge cost advantage because they cut you out of the business model. Have you ever tried to win a patent fight in an Asian court? Ain’t gonna happen!

You quote pay statistics that you know nothing about, my wife is a Paramedic $30K
with bullshit insurance, cops $28K and guess who pays to have their uniforms pressed.
Now a Union Paramedic makes $50 K and maybe does a little racing on the weekend.
No one is saying everyone deserves $500K that is your ranting likewise earning money isn’t bad its good the more money we have in this country the better. The Asian economies understand this, that is why they place restrictions on importing goods into their countries.

Japan for instance is famous for telling manufacturers wishing to import into Japan, No!
There is no market for that here. The import duty to ship a car into Korea is 25% for the Koreans to ship one here is 1%. You can import all the cars into Japan you like but the Japanese won’t buy them because it is considered bad taste for a Japanese to drive a foreign car it is looked down up and as I’m sure you are aware in Japan appearance is everything.

The Asians have built car factories here, because now it is the Americans who work for peanuts and ask no questions. Toyota gave their employees a $20,000 bonus this year, only their Japanese employees. The American employees were told to go back to your shack Negro’s we’ll call you when we need you. The state of Georgia gave Kia motors $100,000,000 in tax abatement do you know who is going to make up the difference to the state? You are, and if Kia decides to close a factory, well you’re a businessman. Which one would you close, the one that doesn’t cost you anything if it sits idle or the one at home where you are liable for benefits?
Id love to go off and write another 4 page novel about how you are wrong, but ive said my piece, sorry you just dont get it.

Cheers
