But, if I was doing that, I would be ignoring the fact that those who came before me had already sold our culture down the river. While American businesses have to keep their smokestacks clean for the EPA, keep their workplace safe for OSHA, and keep wages and retirement benefits for labor unions which makes manufacturing work, they are competing with China which pollutes at will, has no safety standards for workers, and no labor unions.<br /> Now US corporations are shipping our research and developement to China, Singapore, anyplace where there is no EPA, OSHA, and no labor unions, so they can set up their own sweat shops to produce items with our manufacturing technology to the expense of our jobs at home.<br /> And the worst thing that YOU can come up with about our politicians is one of them put his probe in the wrong hole????? You are way out of touch.<br /> <br /> NeoWolfe<br /> <br /> I am not sure why I bother, but someone called a politician a lowlife scumbag, and somehow if felt obligated to explain to him (alexatheist) why all politicians are scumbags.
