QUOTE: RE: Grossly Dishonoring the American Flag TRAINS Magazine Forums » Railroads Posted by Lotus098 Posted: 19 Jul 2005, 20:57:50 We feed the world, this is part of the trade that helps to equalize outsourcing; don't laugh a lot foreign of companies do locate plants and other things in the US. Also outsourcing is not as bad as you make it out to be. For some things it is not profitable to outsource, the company I work for had look into doing a large print run for a client and the price of companies that outsourced to China and India were both higher than the price of a print shop in Texas. Look at car companies (since you laugh I'll explain) they base plants in the Detroit area, employ Americans to build their cars, same company also has nation wide dealerships employing Americans to sell the cars, and railroad to haul cars nation wide. Look at history there was a time when it was feared that American goods were selling at a higher price than goods shipped in from England (outsourcing). People talked of all that would be sold were cheaper British products, similar to fears of Chinese products. This did not happen; you seem to be of the same mindset of these people. You can learn a lot from history. Supply and demand plays a big part as well Chinese goods are usually not as well made as goods made right here at home, the more companies outsource the more demand there is for good American products, these can now be sold at a higher price and some one will start building factories in the US for them.

QUOTE: [#offtopic] If you can't stand the heat of the coffee don't buy it. The stuff is hot for a reason, this is absurd. They have very strict temperature controls (I did some work for Burger King and it had better be right at the temperatures they want) people want hot coffee and it sells, give it to them. The cups do say hot coffee. It's not there fault people are to clumsy to drink it. Could find a link to an article that says a patient needed 2 years of skin grafts. What other than medical bills should be paid. I agree with ereimer too many lawyers. James[C):-)]
QUOTE: I think it is a good idea to protest, but just how can you not pay your taxes here the IRS will be on your tail faster than the Red Baron on Snoopy. I think tax money should go little farther than defense, roads, and other small things. Not Ponzi schemes and socialist systems of wealth redistribution (for those of you in Rio Linda that's welfare). I still pay them though. James[C):-)]
