DUmbasses simply cannot accept that America is still by far the biggest manufacturing economy in the world (about a third larger than China). They look at the bottom of their bong and see "Bangladesh", and assume that means the U.S. is no longer a manufacturing giant:

The only thing still made in America is money
But it’s only being made by the one percent at the top. The rest of us don’t get to play.
“We The People” have been used, abused, raped and discarded. “We The People” are no longer needed. But Fox “news” addicts, dittoheads, and Tea Baggers don’t know that.
So here’s the question. Are those of us who grasp what’s been done to us going to do something – anything -- about it? My guess is we’ll go to our graves before a revolution, or a new renaissance occurs.

You are right, DUmmy. For centuries, indolent losers like you have been going to your graves without improving yourselves. We've seen no sign you are any better.

3. I make enough money. And they make venetian blinds in town.
And Subarus in the town next door. And there's a furniture manufacturer down to road.

8. So does that make you oblivious to what's happening to your fellow citizens?
I'm not sure how the Buzzer has survived for so long at the DUmp.

11. No, it just makes me annoyed at the hyperbole in the OP.

12. It's not hyperbole. It's the world that far too many Americans are
living in, and a world that you have chosen to ignore. I won't argue with your world view since I can't change it. Nor can you change mine.
It is hyperbole.

5. I'm designing an addition for a school. America companies will then construct the building using
mostly American materials.
Freeper.
DUmmy Cyrano is looking for work with as much dedication as the Las Vegas Leviathan, which is to say he's not looking.

10. Good for you. But what about the millions of Americans who
are looking for work and are not even counted in the unemployment figures anymore.
I'm not being sarcastic. I'm glad you're doing well. But, for the most part, America is doing very poorly. We're in a depression. And you are fortunate enough to be avoiding the worst of the pain.

6. Americans make plenty of money ($47,132 per capita). We just don't distribute it very equitably.
Canadians, Europeans and other people from developed countries don't make as much as Americans (usually 10% to 30% less per capita) but distribute their national income and wealth much more equitably, so they end up with healthier societies.
Those countries don't support hordes of illegals swarming across their borders, nor do they support generations of deliberately created War-On-Poverty welfare-dependent democrat drones. Normal people in America, on average, are vastly better off than anyone else in the world.

Maybe if they'd quit being such greedy ****s and equate happiness with money they might find the quality of life a lot better.

Oh FFS
A revolution or renaissance--like wealth--requires self-application. You can't sit on your ass waiting for someone to hand you material prosperity or an era of brilliant ideas.
If this asshole had been born a "native" American--a species for which I'm sure he hold some form of misbegotten idolatry--he'd be complaining that the buffalo own all the meat, its unfair that people have to hunt such large and dangerous animals at their expense and there ought to be some sort of program to compel the beasts share what they inherited.
And by Dog the ****ing retard would go to his grave from starvation making this argument.

Maybe if they spent as much time working at actual jobs or businesses as they do in trying to take what is not theirs their quality of life would be better.

One suspects that nutless Cyrano is becoming annoying to even fellow lunatics.

Absolutely.
But cindie makes an excellent point. Supposedly conservatives only care about money. Yet, just about every position--including social and foreign affairs issues--is staked-out in monetary terms, i.e. we can't afford war because we have to pay for health care, it's more economically viable for teen mothers to abort than face poverty, gays need the same tax breaks as married straights, etc. etc. etc.
Conversely, if you make a non-economic rebuttal you're pilloried, i.e. life--even in the womb--is sacred (misogynist!), marriage is about family (homophobe!) or welfare stifles self-reliance (racist!).
Liberals are the greedy ones absorbed by no thought except money and its acquisition.
But then again they have to be. Their self-indulgent egos permit no God so that leaves materialism and materialism is best expressed as possessing the biggest toy box. There only appeal to external morality is to claim others owe them toys they have not earned.

It's always fun to see Cyrano have a hand-wringing, hysterical, floor-pacing, hair-tearing episode. I wonder if he does this in real life, and if anybody has to put up with it?
.........used, abused, raped and discarded. “We The People†are no longer needed. But Fox “news†addicts, dittoheads, and Tea Baggers don’t know that. aren't going to put up with that shit a second longer.

There are several reasons that manufacturing businesses are leaving the USA.
1. Regulations eat up more cost of producing than the materials in the product.
2. Regulations push up employment costs by 180-250%.
3. Unions force business to either automate or move.
4. Federal/state/county/city taxes add costs and time to comply.
5. Those companies that manage to get through the above with any profit for reinvesting in the company and reward for their hard work are then vilified for being successful.
6. Companies that fail but either have an in with the government or produce products the left likes, are subsidized to the detriment to companies that do supply what the market wants and are successful.
All of the above are the holy grail to the left of which, dear DUchebag, you have blind allegiance to. You should look in the mirror when you post such tripe.
As Reagan said but I will slightly modify, a leftist's concept of business is if it is moving regulate it. If it keeps moving tax it. If it quits moving subsidize it.

pampango says, "Canadians, Europeans and other people from developed countries don't make as much as Americans (usually 10% to 30% less per capita) but distribute their national income and wealth much more equitably, so they end up with healthier societies."
DUmmie has a point, we don't distribute our national wealth very well. Our poor don't work and are overweight and eating up healthcare dollars by the bushel basket full. The evil rich are working to the point of exhaustion to support their sorry asses. He's right, something is wrong with out system. We should redistribute the work more equally....in other words, get off your ass and go to work or starve. It's left up to you DUmmies.

Probably, although as old as Oscar Wilde, the large-proboscised primitive, is, he should grow up.
He made a late run for top primitive of 2010, and it surprised me he ended up only in the second ten, the runners-up; I thought for sure he was going to get at least fifth place last year.
<<not a good election predictor.
