Yeah, the Chinese actually WORK . They don't sit around and drink coffee all day waiting for overtime. They don't have 12 weeks paid vacation or 19 paid holidays a year. And they probably don't put their nephew by marriage , the male nurse, in charge of manufacturing.

The Chinese goverment protects Chinese business with high taxes on foreign imports, restricts the type of imported products that can be brought into the country. Business taxes are a fraction of that in the USA and the goverment no matter how we may or may no like them takes care of the Chinese first. No personal income tax, ultra low property tax, no sales tax. There is no way China will allow a Global warming tax to interfear with making them the #1 world power. We have given our country away through goverment deception and unless someone with guts stands up and fights the current direction, we will be a poor third world nation within this centruy.

With OUR JOBS IN CHINA THEY ACTUALLY HAVE DISPOSABLE INCOME TO BUY CARS. We on the other hand have lost two of our car companies. That curious George got us in quite a mess playing world policeman.

Morons like Rogue Male have no idea what they are talking about. I would bet that a wussy like him wouldn't last one day in an auto assembly plant. Years and years ago there were a few people that had gravy jobs in the plant, but still for the most part, most had to work their ass off. 10 hours a day, 6 days a week. He was correct about the 19 holidays, but you had to have them just to recover from abusing your hand, wrists, and fingers every day. Most model changes only lasted one week, only when there was a major model change did you get 4 weeks off in the summer. You would have had to work in the industry for over 30 years to ever see one or two "12 weeks off". What a piece of sh#t you are "Rogue Male". Your an embarrasment to America!!! What do you do for a living, "Male Prostitute"?

when we had free enterprise manufacturing jobs here we created a middle class and became the worlds most prosperous nation, we are kicking out those manufacturing jobs to China and now they are going to become the most prosperous nation, cap and trade and higher income taxes for industry will run more of those manufacturing jobs to China, we are going to be a has been country very soon, we have the big 3 car companies with the government owning %66 of them, China has 42 car companies with about %10 of them government owned, we have 1 motorcycle company the Chinese have about 150 motorcycle companies. when you go to the store to the self check out how many things that you buy will send money to American workers, Obamomics will make things much much worse in the future but that is what you get from a president that has always complained about the Socialist #1 enemy, free enterprise manufacturing!!! look up Socialism people!

think about this

what do all third world countries have in common?

very little or no industry, and no middle class, you are rich or very poor with no way to work you way to a better life,

what do all prosperous nations have in common?

lots of free enterprise manufacturing jobs and a middle class,
