Who will be left to buy when all the jobs are exported?
EDITOR:
Is there anyone in the U.S.A. thinking of what is really happening to the jobs and the workers that are left without a job while the so-called job bosses send jobs elsewhere for cheaper labor?
Well if they would only think about it they would find out that closing all the plants here and then sending the jobs to another country and then importing the goods back to the United States for our citizens to buy at outrageous prices isn't a good idea. Who could afford these goods with no jobs?
How can they be so well educated, so well prepared and miss this startling fact of events:
1. No one can buy anything if they don't have a job.
2. If prices are over- inflated, even people with jobs cannot afford the goods.
3. With import taxes placed on imported goods, is it really worth it to pursue this line of development, knowing that if the goods were made in America and bought in America, there would be jobs for all, and the prices would definitely reach a comfortable and acceptable level.
Also, who are these people who are trying to destroy the American dream?
Franklin D. Roosevelt once said, "A man who has never gone to school may steal from a freight car but, if he has a university education, he may steal the whole railroad." Someone is definitely stealing all the jobs from the American people and then trying to make them pay for the goods with credit cards. The working class of people are caught in a revolving door going nowhere fast. It should stop.
One way is to not buy or use a product that is not made in America. If we use this strategic method, we will see how far this country of ours have deceived us. Yes, little by little someone has stolen the American drea, because just about everything is made elsewhere and imported back to us to buy.

Some of the joy of reading about first babies is lost
EDITOR:
Most people really look forward to hearing about the first babies of the New Year. However, year after year in The Vindicator, I read that most of these children are not born within a marriage. Same with the television news; no father present.
This year's listing of new babies says it all -- one baby to a single person (no father named) and another to an unmarried couple. In all fairness, how about reporting on children from a valid relationship? It seems unfair that many stores offer gifts to these babies when parents who truly have planned for legitimate children within a relationship are left behind. Some may have had difficulties in conceiving and throughout their pregnancies. Shouldn't they also be celebrated?
I am certainly not opposed to any newborn baby receiving honors, gifts and a warm and loving welcome. However, couples who have babies on January 1 and are married deserve some press, also. Two other area children arrived on January 1 -- their parents are married. Nowhere are they mentioned. Can we not give equal time to those special couples and their little ones?

Worth of foreign workers
EDITOR:
Our efforts to promote world trade are commendable, but, surely, we can pay foreign workers at least a dollar or two an hour instead of a dollar a day or less. We pay U.S. workers $5 to $20 an hour and more.
Think what a boon it would be to business, industry and mankind if foreign workers were able to buy more stuff from us and improve our burdensome trade balance. Isn't it more important to have enabled consumers rather than cheap labor? Love thy neighbor. It pays.
