Lazy-Boy, Ford, Whirlpool, Amana and countless others... have opted for cheap Mexican Labor. (and a cheap shoddy product)

Why? Because they CAN. Thanks to 30,000 lobbyists...who swarm over Washington day in and day out....our Congress and Senate ENABLE these corporations and allow them to screw the American worker.

Don't even try to start up with the "Union workers vs Mexico workers" cost equation argument. Pure BS.

American workers produce five times what Mexican workers produce.

NAFTA gave us the SHAFTA.. and nothing is going to change.
