Made in....

This was posted in the comment section, by Hameed (an Iraqi) who doesn't live in Iraq, at ITM. Yes, I am as guilty as the next person when making purchases. This does make you stop and think a moment.

Besides, I love the ending.


EVER WONDERED WHY AMERICA'S ECONOMY FELL OFF THE CLIFF??

READ ON....


John Smith started the day early having set his alarm clock (MADE IN JAPAN) for 6 am.

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 with his calculator (MADE IN MEXICO) to see how much he could spend today.

After 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), John 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.


AND NOW HE'S HOPING HE CAN GET HELP FROM A PRESIDENT....MADE IN KENYA

And it will get worse as long as high taxes and regulations keep upstarts down and don't even empower the Old Boy Network anymore.

A flat tax and the easing of regulations would fix this in very short order.

So would a zero-emissions car made in America. Until we have that we'll make more money building Japanese cars, the only kind I would ever buy.
