I found this video yesterday at www.defeatthedebt.com
Very interesting to say the least!!!
I looked up many the responses to this video and there were some very angry people out there because they stated they were using children to pass a political message. Many stated it was the right wing going after the current President. I did browse the site for a bit and they seemed to be quite neutral in regards to political stance.
What I find interesting about the responses I read is that many people are still very blind to the real issues that is destroying this country. The American people were blindsided by NAFTA and the excessive loss of American jobs because corporations are no longer loyal to their mother country and would rather find cheaper labor to produce and turn the United States into a nation of consumption not production.
I hear many people scream when the current administration is trying to implement a health care system that is affordable, and usable for its people.
What if NAFTA was never implemented? Would we be in this current mess we are now? The Detroit News published an interactive map a few months ago during the automotive crisis and on each state there were totals of the amount of manufacturing jobs that this country lost so they could find cheaper labor overseas. The totals were in the millions. How many more American jobs are you going to be ok with going overseas before you finally wake up and say, wait a minute, something is wrong? When is the last time you walked into any behemoth corporation and was able to choose between a product “Made in America” and “Made in China”?
I hear many scream “not out of my pocketbook” to help your fellow country men get health care in order to survive or once again become a productive member of society. I have heard many people tell others to go get a job! Where should they go to get that job? Should we all start packing up and moving to that communist country you all supposedly hate, yet, you support with every dollar you spend to get that buck savings?
Capitalism will not work without a level playing field. Nor will this nation prosper if we continue to let our jobs go overseas in areas where there is no labor laws, where there are very unsafe working conditions, and where the product you buy is tainted with chemicals and lead.
Where should the American drive be when many of you feel that it is ok for American laborers to make less money every year while the cost to survive continually goes up and up every year?
Why do you feel its ok for people to go bankrupt and not have health care, yet you continually sell out your fellow American to save a buck at your local corporate behemoth? Instead of screaming at your neighbors to get a job, why don’t you start screaming at the government to first, bring them back, but no, you just continue to buy foreign.
Enjoy your new pledge of allegiance, you deserve it!
