American Jobs

[dgridley]

Joe Smith started the day early having set his alarm clock

(MADE IN JAPAN ) for 6am .


While his coffeepot


(MADE IN CHINA)


was perking, he shaved with his

electric razor


(MADE IN HONG KONG ).


He put on a


dress shirt


(MADE IN SRI LANKA ),


designer jeans



(MADE IN SINGAPORE )


and


tennis shoes



(MADE IN KOREA )



After cooking his breakfast in his new


electric skillet



(MADE IN INDIA )



he sat down with his



calculator



(MADE IN MEXICO )



to see how much he could spend today. After setting his



watch



(MADE IN TAIWAN )



to the radio



(MADE IN INDIA )



he got in his car




(MADE IN GERMANY )


filled it with GAS




(from Saudi Arabia )



and continued his search





for a good paying AMERICAN JOB.




At the end



of yet another discouraging




and fruitless day



checking his



Computer




(Made In Malaysia ),




Joe decided to relax for a while.




He put on his sandals




(MADE IN BRAZIL )




poured himself a glass of



wine



(MADE IN FRANCE )



and turned on his



TV



(MADE IN INDONESIA ),




and then wondered





why he can't find



a good paying job





in AMERICA ...

On a serious note, much of what we buy in America is manufactured overseas for wages we could never live on in conditions we could never endure..

Wow, very true.

 

[Chef Patrick]

wow that is funny but true...do we make anything here, geez :D

 

[CrazyTech]

Sad but true, we don't make all that much anymore - although we do if you start looking hard. Anyone who says "hey, wait a minute" is now branded as a "isolationist."

Those of us who believe in made in America are labeled kooks and are spurned by right and left.

I'll never forget the day I almost bought a lighter at the local store. It had an american flag wrapped around it. It was made in China. I put it down and asked for a pack of matches to light my cigarettes made in america!
