Maybe I'm insensitive, but I feel no pity for those workers in China, one stated "he was angry with the United States", stating "the U.S. recession is taking food from his mouth", thats a bunch of b.s. considering the fact that those jobs they have over there came about from American businesses seeking low paying labor. Now I'm a younger driver, I recall when jobs went to Mexico, then over the Pacific...I live in the South and I can tell you its sad driving through Georgia and the Carolinas and seeing all the textile plants rotting away, long abandoned as these jobs have gone overseas...And what resulted? Inferior products produced overseas that have led to numerous recalls due to these products being unsafe! Good riddance!

"Made in China" will never hold anything compared to "Made in America"! We need to bring these jobs back home! Am I the only one who read about the baby formula made in China that is killing their babies? What if everything we purchased came from overseas? Would you trust food products produced across the world? Just my opinion on the matter, as your entitled to your opinion...

I couldn't agree more, it's the same down here my friend everything you pick up MADE IN CHINA & it is just crap, I don't know about the USA I presume it's the same as here the bloody manufacturers make say a shirt & it costs them $10 to make, they sell it for $20 to a retailer who sells it for $40, the maker then sacks his workers & gets his shirts made in China for $2 but still sells them for $20, greedy thieving mongrels, I think it's called Capitolisam but it's the same all over the western world, thank god I am just a simple man & not greedy.

Cheers kiwiray down under

Have you ever been to a Walmart DC and seen people taking the "Made in China" tags out of shirts and replacing them with "Made in the USA"?

I have.
