Thread: Video_ Buy, Buy, American Pie

Well, you win the best post of the day award.

With apologies to Don MacLean, I love it! Thanks, AF!

Maybe I'm just getting to be an old fuddy duddy but I find no humor in it. We as Americans are all in the middle of this crap and here you have a group idiots making themselves feel superior by making fun.

That's all.

It hurts because it's true.

You (the Americans) have only yourself to blame for this crap so don't shoot the messengers who are making a buck off of it. That would be like being mad at George Carlin for making fun of similar issues over the last decades.

That's a pretty big generalization. THe fact is that "americans" are largely against most free trade agreements because most americans know that it's fundamentally unfair. Workers in places like China, Honduras, and Viet Nam deserve the same wages, environmental protections, and workplace safety that we have here in the US and in Europe. The truth is that these trade barriers have been broken down not by american voters, but by wealthy special interest lobbies.

Having said that, I think the video is sorta' funny too.

As Bruno said, we only have ourselves to blame, we voted for the a-holes who have sold us out, Ike got rid of the watch factories, Johnson brought in Toyota and Datsun in the late -60s, Tricky Dick gave our electronics industry to Japan, Carter gave away the Panama canal and Slick Willy gave everything including the nuke secrets to China. BTW, remember the AWACS jet Bush Jr. gave them. Left or right, the politicians have sold us out. Remember that in November when you have the chance to vote Independent of the two party system. May God bless America, in spite of ourselves.


PS. During the debate on Nafta, 85% of all phone calls, emails and letters from the American Public to Capital Hill were against Free Trade, the Corporations won despite the odds, but I have to ask you, who does own your government. It wasnt we the people.

It's because the U.S is terrified of China. One false move and they come to Washington and demand their debt paid in full so we will never demand or insist anything of them.

One day people here will wake up and realize this country is owned lock stock and barrel by those who hold our debt.

40 years from now we will be making cheap products to export to the world powers-which won't be us.
