A Democrat can only support so many slaves.

Gang, you might want to take a peek at the following:

Mike Sandman is a fellow in Chicago who has been servicing and selling
office phones and systems for about 35 years.

a choice passage:
===========================================================================

After the Internet bubble burst in 2000, things started to change in our
economy. The Iraq war really slowed the economy down. Big companies were
having a hard time selling more stuff than the previous year, which is
what it takes for the head of the company to keep his job (and huge
salary).

In business, you either:

* Sell more stuff
* Raise prices to make the same amount of money selling less stuff
* Cut costs

There are no other choices, except going out of business or being
acquired. Just about every single company in the US had the same idea at
the same time: Make the stuff in China to cut costs.

It took a few years, but there are now very few factories in the US. The
same companies are selling the same products, but it?s made overseas. The
cost of buying raw materials and making the products overseas was
incredibly low, and the companies could get rid of a lot of overhead in
the US since there were no factories to support. These companies were
making incredible profits. Enough to buy lots of private business jets,
buy more companies, and build new headquarters buildings.
