Good American Job

[Guest]

John Smith started the day early having set his alarmclock

(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

My mom got a new Revereware teakettle (Revereware used to be top quality, made in the USA). The dumb thing leaked. She looked on the bottom of the kettle, only to find that it had been made in China.

Yeah I remember when it was good.

That happens to me often. I look at something that has a brand name I recognize and respect, whose products were always made in the U.S.A. Then I look at the tag, and most often it's made in China, or some other foreign country.

But it is not always the fault of the manufacturer. If the costs to produce were less here, then manufacturing would increase here.*
