Don't think about what's good for you today, think about what our future is looking like.

Why did you leave out cars and trucks? Plus why not say don't buy anything where they use illegal labor

That might include the lettuce for your salad or the tomato for your burger (the beef came from the rain forest). And of course the hops picked by whom?

should have taught them to drive, because this country will still always need a truck and driver to get the freight from the port to the walmart.

My wife has not earned a paycheck since 1992 because of a heart attack at 25 years old and multiple surgeries and other medical problems since. In spite of my working as many hours as I possibly could including working 2 full time jobs and sleeping 4 hours a day if I was lucky we had to file for bankruptcy in 1996 and more recently lost our home because I just could not keep up. We live literally paycheck to paycheck, we have no savings and our kids cannot even play any organized sports or get involved in any after school activities because we can't pay for them. We don't have anything extra EVER! We know all about doing without and we have even begun shopping at the Goodwill for clothes. DON'T BE SO QUICK TO JUDGE OR OTHERWISE ASSUME THAT YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT.
