Manufacturing in America, Where wealth comes from.

Manufacturing in America, Where wealth comes from.

Joe Smith started the day early having set his alarm
Clock for 6 am.
(MADE IN JAPAN )
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 at his table
(MADE IN VIETNAM)
and with his calculator
(MADE IN MEXICO )
to see how much he could spend today.
He 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 !

That store tells of the plight of many Americans.
Everyone needs to try and buy something made in America or nothing will improve.
The government needs to set the tax laws to encourage capital investment in America.
We are not a wealth country anymore, and no country owes as much as we do.
Banks and Wall Street don't create anything of value, manufacturing does.
