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 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? DO IT YOURSELF!
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, however, 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.
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.
The solution? Let's give them fair warning and send
our own message. We will not implement this UNTIL June 4,
and we will only 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. Send this to everybody you
know. Show them we are Americans and NOBODY can take us
for granted.
If we cannot live without cheap Chinese goods for one
month out of our lives, WE DESERVE WHAT WE GET!
Pass it on America! This is still our USA !!!"In God we trust"
God Bless America !!!
I wouldn't expect this society of gluttons and morons to wise up, with their spending habits anytime soon. A few people will, but the rest?.....I doubt it.
