That's It! Everything is made in China.

Michael Doulton, owner of the famous Doulton ceramics company in England, was selling a china figurine on a tv shopping show recently. It was $69.95 which is really cheap for one of their figurines. He turned it over and there on the tag it said 'Made in China'. Oops!

1. If the Chinese realized the amount of exploitation the West hands 'em...

I mean, I don't like it when I realize I'm being exploited... but a whole country?

4. They're not getting exploited per say

I mean it's better they make 70 bucks a month then 0

[Deja Q]

6. When the same job in the US would pay twice that or more?

They are getting exploited just so our handful of American CEOs can have bigger paychecks.

2. Not EVERYTHING ... Check these out

Have you seen the Utopian Peace Characters designed by me and my 12 year old son to provide a creative outlet for our outrage over war? Proudly made here in the USA of stainless steel.
Proceeds go to fight for the cause.

Help spread the message of Peace...One Utopian at a Time !

7. There still is a lot of cottage industry in this country

I switched my canvas supplier to a US manufacturer from one that was in China. It's more expensive but better quality, and the customer service is better.

8. We're retiling our kitchen, and...

were tile shopping. I picked up one that looked nice, flipped it over - saw it was made in China and put it right back down.
