1. He's spot on. You can find US made products in a fucking dollar store!

Point being, shit made in overseas sweatshops does NOT translate into lower prices here. It just means the companies make more MONEY off of the sale at "market price" and we, the consumers, get crap instead of well-made products. We still make things here, but you do have to look.

4. But it's never "redistribution of wealth"...

...when it's redistributed upward.

2. It is extremely apparent

that the only way we can change these "insane policies" (and if we fight for it get a "second bill of rights")is if we are willing to TAKE TO THE STREETS.
