The tariff's imposed on our goods going to Japan and other countries were so high we couldn't compete ie; An American Built Automobile sent over to Japan would have a $10,000 tariff added, we don't do this to their products so this in turn makes their produts sell for much less then American Made Auto's, or other product's for that matter.
Also after WWII we "Rebuilt" their factories (with your TAX dollars) to help them set up their industries to where they could be self sufficient. Our factories never recieved any new equipment, and help like our foriegn conterparts did. We had to change over from a industry that built WAR MACHINES to WIN the war, back to buildiing AUTO's without the HELP from our own government. Just does'nt make any sense to me. By the way, in the NEXT all out WAR, (and there will be one eventually) who in HELL is going to build these war machines to beat our next ENEMY?
Actually it was jealousy of the UNION WORKER'S (who by the way made the MIDDLE CLASS as we once knew it) who were paid wages and benefits that reflected a fairer way to benefit the poor, and to allow them to reap a better way of life, and to purchase goods at a time when only the wealthy could have the nicer things of life. In other words it allowed for other industries to start up new products to sell to the PUBLIC and not just for the RICH, and this divided the money up for all. But even then the RICH STILL GOT RICHER IMAGINE THAT!
Now the government here tell's us they are allowing illegal immigrants in to your country because they will do the work WE DON"T WANT??? Come'on America WAKE-UP! they are ruining your country and your way of life and you are letting them get away with it.
Demand American Products "MADE IN AMERICA" by AMERICAN WORKER'S.
