You can thank Corporate America, so very interested in getting rich overnight, for the qualitty you are getting, no matter where the product originates. They are shoving this stuff down our throats, splahing it all over the media, who get their revenues fron where????...Corporate America. The same people that are so greedy that they have generated the current mortgage crisis, thinking they could make a fast buck. Who is paying the bill? Middle class America. Apparently the old adage "money talks, bull____ walks" still holds true. When you don't pay enough for something to make sinful profits, somebody hires a trickster to figure out how to make it generate those sinful profits. They don't care where the money comes from, whether directly from your pocket, or through the taxes you pay, redistributed by way of the IRS, to bail out folks who have put too much pressure on the free market system by demanding instant riches, a bunch of SOBs who feel that they should get unreasonable returns on their investments. Corporate America has invested trillions in China, and what is China getting out of it??? The most polluted environment in the world, sickness, even death. And Corporate America continues to RAPE humanity. Is it any wonder that we are so well hated in the world??? We have moved from the world's potential savior to the world's actual demon. All in the name of the BOTTOM LINE. Are you able to manipulate your financial environment to your benefit alone? I think not. You claim that in the saame position, you'd not act like corporate America has, but you may be mistaken. Think of all the lottery winners who have spent it all in a flash, but don't have the financial power to continue spending even after they are broke. In the Corporate America establishment, bailouts simply sustain the ability to keep up immoral corporate practices, generating profits, no matter who or how it hurts humanity. The quality of products, or lack of quality, is not peculiar to any national or ethnic group, but to the corporate giants who have the financial power to resist outside control, whether by government, union, or other entity. Is it a political phenomina? I think not, as no administration has the cajones to put the breaks on it all. possibly because they are mostly bought and paid for, by______ _______, you fill in the blank..........
