1. The "business model".....

I don't blame the Mexicans. I don't blame producing their product in Mexico, or anywhere else...for THOSE places. But here in America, WE MAKE OUR DAMNED COOKIES HERE!

The other countries buy product produced there, partly because it creates jobs THERE, but also because it is cost effective so they don't have to ship Oreos 3500 miles to sell in Mexico, or Canada, or other places. But does Nabisco really need to let people go, like they they are a dirty rag, here? These people should not be losing their jobs because of production in another country. That is absolute "bull shit greed". That's what pisses me off.

We make Toyotas here because we buy and drive them here. We make Volkswagens here because we buy and drive them here. The companies still make their billions..but jobs are created here; and everyone is a winner. Nabisco is another "Wallmart story". Exploit the workers who give you everything, and screw them tomorrow, after they've given you thirty years of loyalty.

This makes me so angry, sick to my stomach and want to commit violence on these asshole CEO's that need to be paid thousands more, despite the fact they pay no taxes, live in the best of circumstances that have no conscious being allowed to profit off the backs of all employees. All their employees, American and Mexican.

These situations make me want to push for the highest tariffs that can be placed on these products and make them pay for their disloyalty and betrayal to those that have made them so profitable.

If this NAFTA situation isn't addressed in Hillary's administration immediately then she won't be worth a shit and will be a 1 term president.
