Among the number of plant closings announced in the United States this week: A printing plant in Greenburg, Ind., costing 220 jobs; a tomato processing plant in Westover, Md., with 103 people fired; an office-supply facility in Mattoon, Ill., with 129 jobs lost.

Nostalgia aside, the relics of old industry are indicative of the paralyzing greed that infected the Country’s industrial infrastructure.
I embrace new technologies and rebuilding old infrastructure. But what we see left behind is abandonment of industrial exceptionalism. The woebegone mills, factories, and railroads are the visible symbols of the desertion.
Those elite need a middle class too. That way they can use class warfare to pit the lower against the middle and themselves be insulated.
I used to play the don’t buy china game. Can’t afford it any more. Now I try to play the “don’t buy period” game.
You are a free traitor. The last thing from being a patriot. You must change your freep name for the New Year to toddster or toddler. You must eliminate the “patriot” you have appended to your name under false pretenses. I am in touch with Jim Robinson about this issue
Cry some more, commie.

At best your libertarianism is amusing and irrelevant.
Much like your stupidity, seeing that I am not a libertarian, but a free-market conservative.
Your the one with this head so far up China's ass when they fart your ears flap.
Lets see, i'll bet Dennis is against free trade with China, WHO ARE COMMUNIST, and you are all for playing grab ass with the Chinese Bolsheviks, You really crack me up, you traitor. I call this hypocrisy, you call it free trade.
You know butt wheat, you can't have FREE TRADE WITH A COMMUNIST COUNTRY. Only you do not see the irony in this.
Funny, the only time anyone mentions China it’s you guys, crying like babies. As I’ve said a thousand times before: China does not have a free market, the U.S. does not have free trade with China, and you are a complete pinhead.
I like your insight. You can couple people within the concept of desertion. American citizens are abandoned by American corporations in the economic limbo contest for the lowest cost and the fastest buck. American corporations with the power of free speech [read dollars] to influence the election process to sanctify their dissolution of the American economy.
We must make more of what we import or we will continue to skid toward our meltdown as a world power. If corporations are unwilling to make in this [their] country, then there must be tariffs to equalize the difference in what countries buy from us and what we buy from them.
Does it ever cross your mind that the first thing to happen should be making it easier for U.S. corporations to operate? Why the beeline to raising everybody’s taxes?
SO you are against any trade of any kind with China?
Absolutely not. I will not rest until the Chinese are all driving Buicks.
Idiots on parade.
Being a hyper-capitalist, you'll appreciate this quote from another hyper-capitalist:
She understood leftists -- and other dictator types posing as conservatives -- well.
Stop the bull about taxes. The taxes paid could be relatively zero and the jobs would still be exported because of the labor costs. Tax rates were even higher when the country was prosperous.
Taxes, schmaxes. What difference does it make if I bank $1.00, or $0.70 . . . right?
