Back in the 90's there was a politician named Ross Perot that campaigned against NAFTA.
He said that when all these companies moved their factories to Mexico America would hear a giant swooshing sound of the jobs leaving the country.
Now, factories are closed, our people make very little of what we use in our daily lives.
Here in Knoxville I can list at least 6 major factories that are closed...Levi's, Standard, Palm Beach, Fulton's etc. etc.
Those few factories were several thousand jobs just in downtown within 2 miles of one another.
Auto parts made in Mexico but assembled here make me want to puke!
Why do our politician's never address this? Our folks are on welfare instead of working.
A lot of things get blamed on Lobbyist's. I believe that if you are honest you don't have to take any money from any Lobbyist. Our politician's are lying to us when they blame these people. We pay our politician's a good wage so they don't need this money. Quit blaming this lame excuse and do what's right.
Why does UT have to have Lobbyist's?
Why does any company need lobbyist unless they are wanting to buy a deal?
No one forces our politician's to take this money. If you are cheating this money influences you!
I don't see where any of our Tn Politicians even care if our factories are closed.
I personally thinks both parties are more worried about reelection than screaming and yelling when another factory closes down!
I think all our politician's are lying to us and too busy making deals.
No offense to restaurants but a man can't feed his family working in a restaurant.
Where am I wrong?
