Uncle Joe Needs a job.

G'd day everyone!

Want to know what happens after NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement) does to American jobs? Here you go, read on:

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

Y'all gotta Keep this one circulating, please.!

One major big reason for this: NAFTA Treaty that Preident Bill Clinton. So we have a Democrats president to thank for screwing up the American Way of life. The second reason is Labor cost is cheaper in other countries than in the United States. Does anyone in the United States really want to work the same wage of low salary of Labor wage? The cost of living is tough in America. Until that can be correct and the Companies are willing to return to hire more American to make the products to be a Proud USA product, this problem will won't end. This situation is very sad and I wish the Congress could repealed and destory the NAFTA treaty. It is a bad treaty in my opinion.
