I usually delete stuff like this when I get it but this just hit me. You do as you want but I'm going to give this a shot.
THE CAN FROM CHINA
---------------
THE CAN FROM CHINA
I was buying food the other day at the Country Market. On the label of some products, it said, "From China". For example, the "Our Family" brand of Mandarin oranges says right on the label, "From China".
I was shocked!! For a few more cents I bought the Liberty Gold brand or Dole, which is from California .
Are we Americans as dumb as we appear --- or --- is it that we just do not think?
While the Chinese, knowingly and intentionally, export inferior and
even toxic products and dangerous toys and goods to be sold in American markets, the media wrings its hands and criticizes the Bush Administration for perceived errors. Yet 70% of Americans believe that the trading
privileges afforded to the Chinese should be suspended.
Well, duh..why do you need the government to suspend trading privileges?
SIMPLY DO IT YOURSELF, AMERICA !!
Simply look on the bottom of every product you buy, and if it says 'Made in China ' or 'PRC' (and that now includes Hong Kong ), simply choose another product, or none at all. You will be amazed at how dependent you are on Chinese products, and you will be equally amazed at what you can do without. Who needs plastic eggs to celebrate Easter? If you must have eggs, use real ones and benefit some American farmer. Easter is just an
example, the point is do not wait for the government to act. Just go ahead and assume control on your own.
THINK ABOUT THIS If 200 million Americans refuse to buy just $20 each of Chinese goods, that's a billion dollar trade imbalance resolved in our favor...fast!! The downside? Some American businesses will feel a temporary
pinch from having foreign stockpiles of inventory. Wahhhhhhhhhhhh
The solution? Let's give them fair warning and send our own message:
Most of the people who have been reading about this matter are planning on
implementing this on June 4, and continue it until July 4. That is only one month of trading losses, but it will hit the Chinese for 1/12th of the total, or 8%, of their American exports. Then they will at least have to ask themselves if the benefits of their arrogance and lawlessness were worth it. Remember, June 4 to July 4.
EVEN BETTER. .. . START NOW.
Let's show them that we are Americans, and NOBODY can take us for granted. If we can't live without cheap Chinese goods for one month out of our lives, WE DESERVE WHAT WE GET!

) and My Grand Children. Never in My Life have I Felt the U.S. was Spinning Out of Control as I do now!! North Korea is just waiting for the Smallest Mistake to Attack South Korea, One of Our Allies, and More of Our Soldiers are going to Die on Foreign Soil, to Help Keep Us Free, and Feel Safe when We Go to Bed! We should Think of Our Troops when We Buy Products, and Honor them by trying to Buy as Much American Products as We can, so they can Return to the Home they Left to Protect Us with a Home to have Waiting, not One Lost to Foreclosure, and a Job so they can Continue Their American Dream!! I'm not blaming All of this on North Korea, they are just an Example, but I feel the American Soldier, Active, Retired, or at Eternal Peace Deserves All the Respect We can give them, and this could be a Small Way We could Honor Them!! Just My Opinion, but I Feel Enough is Enough Already, and if We don't Start Worrying about the U.S. as Citizens, Instead of Blaming Everything on the Politicians, Our Fate May Very Well be Sealed!!
