God bless America...colored support bracelets being "counterfeited"
A story running now on local news affiliate here. Yellow cancer support bracelets, just like the blue dem bracelets. Turns out somebody is just making his own, selling them over the counter and keeping the money they are supposed to be raising. Too bad for everybody.

1. I wonder if ANY of the funds from those "Support the Troops"
bracelets actually go to supporting the troops.

2. I suspect the profits go to the
cheap Chinese sticker factories. I looked for a label on one, but couldn't find it. I'll bet they are made in China.

Let's not make China the enemy here. They are being prostituted for gain by Western capitalists who close up shop here and ship it there to avoid paying U.S. atxes, wages, and benefits.

4. China is not the enemy.
I don't begrudge the Chinese people jobs.

The people who are sending American jobs to other countries are the enemy. I would like the people around me to be employed. I try to buy products made in the U.S.A.
