Think About This One!!!

[HARDCORE]

We received this by e-mail [author unknown to us]! It does, however, give one food for thought. Thought You Might Like To Read It. Rick & Brenda
____________________________
Think About This One!!! It is short but very interesting!

A car company can move it's factories to Mexico and claim it's a
free market.

A toy company can out source to a Chinese subcontractor and claim
it's a free market.

A shoe company can produce its shoes in south east Asia and claim
it's a free market.

A major bank can incorporate in Bermuda to avoid taxes and claim
it's a free market.

< /B>We can buy HP Printers made in Mexico. We can buy shirts made in
Bangladesh. We can purchase almost anything we want from 20 different countires.


BUT, heaven help the senior citizens who dare to buy their
prescription drugs from a Canadian or Mexican pharmacy. That's called
un-American! And you think the pharmaceutical companies don't have a
powerful lobby? Think again!

Forward this to every person you know over age 50. It is an
interesting thought. Maybe this is an issue that should come up in the next
election!

Forget the 50, send it to everyone. We're all in this boat
together! Even if you aren't in this boat now, you're standing on the pier.

Gues what there was new report on Sunday's night news that the great American Chocalte Bar just might not be so American anymore. Hershey is laying off 1,500 Ameirican workers and moving those jobs to Mexico. So much for the great American Choclate bar.

EXCELLENT POINT!!!!!!!!
Should open many Victimized Americans' eyes & minds and get
some lordly leaders' heads out of the sand or collective butts,
many hands out of lobbyists' pockets also.

Plus, such exposings should pretty-much prove to all Americans
that The Pharmaceutical Industry in collusion with a Big Brother
and/or Socialistically Dictated Government as ours,...make The Big
Oil Companies/Producers (both here & worldwide) look like rank
amateurs.

After all, and even absurdly DENYING Americans FREE TRADE aside,
NO ONE better rigs or concocts: "Supply & Demand" and all in
concert daily rip-off Americans by SCURRILOUS PRICE-HIKES,
GOUGINGS and/or SKY HIGH PRICE-FIXINGS,...than do
The American Drug Industry and their outlets.

Rick, and just out of curiosity,.................................
if traveling to Canada or Mexico are We Americans not
permitted purchasing gasoline and oil in both places, either?
Must we bring 5 gal. cans of fuel with us,...besides any
emergency meds needed?

Also, is shopping while traveling in Venezuela any different?
Are Americans permitted: "Free Trade" there, instead?

HC - all are good points. But I have one issue about buying drugs outside of this country. I worry that fraud or illicit products could be sent to our elderly. How do they know they actually are getting the drugs of equal strength or quality? How do they know they aren't laced or loaded with some narcotic or worse?

It's bad enough to buy drugs for a prolonged illness but to be taken by so called drug companies outside of our normal circle of protection could result in many prematurely lost individuals.

"You are right Boats - why should we allow foreigners to get in on the act and rip us off like the home-grown gaggle?"

The bottom line of the piece is (in my opinion) that our creative juices have been urinated into by foreign enterprise. And (like it or not) when a country loses its productivity, its inventiveness, its morality, it's dignity, its integrity etc., it begins to lose all that went into its greatness - like it or not!

But what the Hell, we can still muster enough forces to fight for the rights and whims of the whole world to be abject bastards! And just think of the multitude of benefits we have derived - ridiculous gas prices, more and more politicos in jail, the best of our youth (maimed and departed), an arrogant and unaccountable political system, rampant illegal immigration, poor (if any) heath care for our returning heroes, essential services for our kids and elderly being axed to death, rising prices etc, etc. - yeah, we never had it so good?????
