Don’t be fooled the problem is not Toys or China!

"If we will not endure a king as a political power we should not endure a king over the production, transportation, and sale of any of the necessaries of life."—John Sherman

According to the AP the Consumer Product Safety Commission, in cooperation with Mattel Inc., announced late Tuesday that it is recalling about 700,000 Chinese-made toys that have excessive amounts of lead paint.

It would be too easy to lay this debacle at the feet of the Chinese but responsibility doesn’t belong there. Mattel and Corporations like it have for years outsourced American jobs to foreign countries to take advantage of less restrictive manufacturing laws and cheap almost slave labor.

Corporate pursuit of low wages and less regulations are the reasons that the American consumer is suffering from everything from tainted foods that have been exported to this country to high gas prices and to products that would not be made in America because they do not mean United States standards.

Everything that is wrong in America today can be blamed on an out-of-control corporate environment that will do anything and everything for the sake of the bottom line. Profit!

Corporations control everything from the President to Congress corporations control all aspects of American life. From what you eat, what you drive, and how you’re entertained corporations decided what Americans like or dislike.

Whether it’s tainted pet food, ecoli laden lettuce or lead covered toys it is the corporations fault. Corporations are the reason that we are at war in Iraq and they are the blame for hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens marching in American streets demanding rights in a country that they are not citizens of. Corporations have left the safe shores of America for the siren calls of low wages and little to no regulations in India, China or wherever there is a somewhat stable government to operate from.

What can we do? The people of this country must decide whether or not we want control of our country back, for a fact, American life is infected by corporate influence at every level.

Corporations fund the homosexual movement, Corporations fund the stem cell movement, and Corporations fund the global warming movement. Look behind any movement meant to weaken the family and promote consumerism you will find corporate influence lurking in the shadows.

Until and unless the Sherman Act and anti-trust laws are reenacted in this country corporate power will be the down fall of this nation. We must reign in corporate power!

And you thought it was only about lead paint on toys, no the real toxic substance in this society today is unrestrained corporate wealth lust.

Uncontrolled corporate power is exactly the type of concentrated power and tyranny that the Founding Father attempted to protect the America people from.

Whether it is toys, CD’s DVD’s, Automobiles, Gasoline, Movies, Music, News and Entertainment Corporations are hell bend on controlling the hearts and minds of the people of the world.

Of course they want your wallet too! And after the Presidential Elections the artificial lower gas prices will be lifted and when gasoline goes up to 4 to 5 dollars a gallon they will have your wallet too.

China is a serious problem. They have aimed nuclear warheads at our country. They have violated their treaty with us barring them from dumping slave-labor goods here. They have threatened our ally Taiwan.

We shoudl ban Chinese goods from our country.

Good grief. What a pathetic rant.

What would you change to make the article more acceptable?

Everything. The entire focus of the rant.

Corporate loyalty has always been to the dollar, not the community, family values, or these days even the nation where they originated.

Corporations for whom the dollar is not paramount do not survive. I’m pro-capitalism.

It is the fault of the consumer IMO. If the consumer was as interested in quality as they are about price, and supply, then Mattel would make their toys in America.

And around we go!
