Sure, Wal-mart ordered their merchandise from China, but we rewarded them by buying it. I rarely shop there. But this one time I saw "Dutch Butter Cookies" and thought: "made in China?" Turns out they were actually made in Holland!

Then there was this other time. I wanted to buy a can of compressed air from China. So my Chinese friend could breathe some Chinese air. Anyway, the compressed air was from New Jersey! Since then they've switched suppliers. No more Jersey air.

Job creator!!! Give 'em a tax cut. Hell, if lower taxes get job creators to create jobs, the Repubicans will say they should pay no taxes. (Uh oh, I may have given them an idea.)
