What's NOT Made in China?

Well, maybe we ought to keep the jobs here and subsidize them like we do for farmers!! I have been milling that idea around for a while now, as they just reported a few weeks ago that the U S pays 50,000 farmers nearly $7 billion to sit on their asses and do nothing. That's $140,000 a year each!!! To reflect?? How about survival of the fittest? Let the healthy farms, the profitable farms survive. Let the others fail. After all, they are failing anyway. <br />Auto assembly plant workers get over $25 an hour plus great benefits to stand around all day. One of my friends works at Ford. They have 2 guys punch in the other 12 that never show up. They rotate each week, so they only work a week in 7. To top it off, ANY IDIOT can work at an auto plant. Why such high wages? <br />Doctors and hospitals make great money, but they always check to see you have insurance or that you can pay before rendering service. Read the HYPOCRATIC OATH and show me one doctor that practices it. <br />Most of the modern worlds great inventions were invented here, but lost through greed. We all want to earn the BIG BUCKS, but don't want to pay for it. I buy what I can afford that appeals to me. Eventually (1000 years?) everyone will be considered equal, and maybe they will stop taking from each other and start taking care of each other. <br /> <br />Sorry, my $.05 worth.
