I feel torn, always, between wanting everyone to have a better place to live, and the people who exploit them and our local unemployed and underpaid laborers.

IT workers are also being destroyed by cheap labor from India, and American companies should be penalized when they strangle our USA workers for the benefit of bigger and Scrooge-like corporations whose profits are enormous and whose executive salaries are scandelous.

Slavery is back and the whip wielders are disguised as Microsoft, IBM and Apple, not to mention huge agribusinesses who swamp the little farmers we have depended on for centuries. A fond goodbye to the great middle class many of us were born enjoying. Shame on the USA! I desperately want to hear that wonderful refrain, "Look for the Union label."

We are serfs and the war cry is "Damn the Unions; Full Speed Ahead."

We all need to buy and support, verbally, USA made goods. While we cannot always work our budget without "imported goods" , we can up our percentage of made in the USA purchases. We need to stop stomping on our own feet. It hurts, it really hurts.
