-Caveat Lector- This little ditty below is considered pithy by the Right. It's just blaming the victim. As usual, it's not the fault of our economic system. It's OUR fault..... Joshua2 --------------------- Subject: AMERICA Joe Smith started the day early, having set his alarm clock (made in Japan) for 6:00a.m. While his coffee pot (made in China) was perking, he shaved with his electric razor (made in Hong Kong). He put on a dress shirt (made in Sri Lanka), designer jeans (made in Singapore), and tennis shoes (made in Korea). After cooking his breakfast in his electric skillet [made in India), he sat down with his calculator (made in Mexico), to see how much he could spend today. After setting his watch (made in Taiwan), to the radio (made in India), he got in his car (made in Germany) and continued his search for a good-paying American job. At the end of yet another discouraging and fruitless day, Joe decided to relax for awhile. He put on his sandals (made in Brazil), poured himself a glass of wine (made in France), and turned on his TV (made in Indonesia), then wondered why he can't find a good-paying job in AMERICA +++++++++++++++++++++++ But it's not really Joe's fault if you think about it. Joe has a limited amount of money. Joe has a life to live. Joe is a " consumer " who is given little choice in what he buys because his business and political elites have decided that there is more profit in using foreign labor whom they pay peanuts. TV's are not even made in AMERICA anymore. No. It's not Joe's fault. It's the natural outcome of capitalism. As long as Joe is stupid enough to tolerate a system which favors the Rich at the expense of the majority of Americans, Joe will watch his Indonesian TV till he starves to death.
