Continuing to play the anti-outsourcing card, Prez Barack Obama said sometime back, "While America cannot 'shy away' from globalisation, it would have to take measures to ensure that jobs are not shipped overseas. We have to stop providing tax breaks for companies that are shipping jobs overseas and give those tax breaks to companies that are investing here in the United States of America"
Its really ironical that fate has brought the pioneers of the free-market economy to such a situation that they have to resort to such cheapshots a.k.a. restrictive trade practices (mind u i aint an expert on these terms.. am using them randomly.. so please excuse any wrongs.. or just buzz off)
But truly, America has to indulge itself in these times... Let me rephrase Obama in a more apt manner of the ROCKSTAR from the City of Vices...
What makes a real American? A cowboy hat? Enjoying a fine T-bone steak? Going to a baseball game? Shooting a gun? Maybe it’s the freedom to go into a poor country and tell them how to do things?! Heh! Those are all great qualities! But one thing that makes a true patriot is the ability to choose an American car! When you buy an import you take a hot meal off a hardworking American’s table. These poor Yanks are going to starve to death, just because you bought a cheaper, more efficient Asian car. Without gross symbols of excess, what will Americans have to look up to? Our great industries are threatened! Cars, pornography, armaments! And they need your help! So the next time you buy a car, a piece of adult literature or a missile defense system! Make sure you do the American thing!
