"Go research Chinese labor since the capitalist-communist miracle and then get back to me."

Ummm...I think I agree with you. Can I take a pass on the homework?

Repubicans can carp all they want about "job killing taxes", but taxes are like a single wave against the tsunami of consumer/market choices in Wal-Marts and purchasing departments across the country. Same goes for Demoncrats who think we can stop outflow of jobs by changing a rule or two.

We're addicted to cheap crap from China. Also addicted to porn. And watching DWTS -- go MILF Bristol!

"If you’ve got to denigrate a whole nation of people and one of the greatest economic miracles of the last 50 years,"

Meh...if it wasn't for Sam Walton with the support of a lot of consumers who thought that buying crap from China might affect someone's job...but not theirs, there would have been no "miracle".

Also...I don't see this as denigration of a "whole people" as much as a criticism of how China's fucked with its currency in order to satisfy the purchase lust of millions of Americans.

The fortune cookie was over the top though...I'll give ya that.
