And, the Chinese government subsidizes businesses, supplies a lot of raw materials, machines and supplements labor. No wonder we can't easily compete. And the Chinese supplies slave labor. Even sending the slaves to Africa to work. Imagine that! Hawke is a lover of the Chinese, who keep slaves, execute people without trial and if there is a trial, its a kangaroo court, pay bribes to foriegn governments and supply millions of pounds of arms, ammo, explosives and terrorist training to foreign governments who use it to enslave their people. As usual you're full of ****. American business loves China. They send our jobs there and fire American workers so they can make more for themselves. American consumers love China because they can buy everything they want so cheap from Walmart. American courts are kangaroo courts, American government and businessmen pay bribes all over the world, and we supply most of the world with all the arms, ammo, and tools of war, they need. We even provide the Taliban and the Pakistanis with money for drugs and weapons. And we do this as our people get poorer all the time. The bottom 50% of Americans only own 1% of the country's wealth. So most Americans are nothing but wage slaves anyway. China doesn't sound so bad in comparison. Hawke is nothing more than a lover of totalitarian regimes. It's always the right winger military lovers like Gummer who are the big supporters of totalitarian regimes. After all who is it that keeps all totalitarian regimes in power? That's right, the military. So Mr. Big Military Ass Kisser Gummer is down for supporting totalitarians far more than any liberal. Id be happy to kick into the pot to send him, one way to China, or Cuba so he can be with the people he loves. Anyone else? Ive got $20 ready to put down on his boat ticket. I'd believe you if you said you had 20 cents. No, I take that back. I don't believe anything you say. You lie about everything. Hawke |

For God's sake, READ SOMETHING!!!...other than leftist blogs. I don't read any leftist blogs, you twit! I read books and watch business shows on TV and listen to what the experts say. You are the one who is ignorant. Take the furniture business. Know anything about it? We used to have quite a few furniture manufacturers in the U.S. Not any more. Ethan Allen is about all that is left. The managers closed down the factories in North Carolina and Georgia and set up shop in Vietnam and in China. They make the same furniture there but pay nothing for labor and have no worries about ruining the environment. That is what I mean by a job being "sent" to China. By that I mean ongoing businesses located in the U.S. close down factories and set up new ones in Asia where the wages are 80 cents an hour...or less. If you don't think those American businessmen love China then you're nuts! And you don't know anything about businessmen. China does subsidize business. So do we. We give the oil industry 45 billion dollars a year in subsidies. Funny, considering it's one of the most profitable industries in the world. So the fact is we subsidize business too. We do even more of it in the defense industry. And by the way, America is in the top 5 countries in the world when it comes to being business friendly. So where you get the idea America punishes business is clearly a mystery. Because you just don't have the facts straight. You want to have a contest of your facts against mine? Any day. Bring it on.

Happened to me - company I was working for - we designed a unique PC case and had it made in China. We paid for all the dies and all the injection molding equipment and everything - and they were selling out case worldwide through "asian sources computing" for half (or less) what we were paying - before we got our first production run. Yet companies still try to get honest deals there. Sad part is nobody cares if it is an "honest " deal any more - as long as it is the lowest possible price. Quality and ethics be damned. |
