Benedict Arnold is widely known as a traitor to our country. Well, my friends, we too are like traitors to our country each and every time we knowingly buy an imported product when nearly same thing is available and made by a fellow American worker right here in the U.S.A. I know this is strong but as far as I'm concerned, love it or leave it. We are our own worst enemy.
The President is taking a tour
To talk about our economy
To bring jobs to Americans
To help fulfill our every need
The people say, “We need jobs now!”
That’s so easy to fix, my friends
Simply look at what we’re buying
That’s what has brought us to this end
Why don’t we simply help ourselves
And heed the writing on the wall
Buy what fellow Americans make
Or America will surely fall
Sure we can blame our government
But it’s we who are most guilty
We control our economy
It’s we who control the money
True freedom needs to pay a price
And duty is part of that need
Duty to support our products
It’s our children we need to feed
Why not become a true Patriot
Re-think ‘All for one and one for all’
Patriot or Benedict Arnold
We are the ones who make that call
So, what can our government do?
That, too, is so easy to fix
If it’s sold here, then build it here
Don’t need a magic bag of tricks
For all imports that are allowed in
Then we need a national sales tax
Let those who don’t support this Lady
Let him pay for what his heart lacks
Mr. President, please hear the call
The time is now to take action
Time for decisiveness, be firm
Our country is nearly in traction
Stand tall and tell it like it is
Forget ‘politically correct’
For those who won’t like this idea
Un-Patriotic is what I detect
Paul, it's the same ol same ol. We have so many spouting off about what needs to be done to save our country, as they continue to drive around (or as is often the case with the wealthy,,,, be driven around) in their BMW's, Audi’s, Jaguars and the like.
Buy American seems to have lost it's meaning these days, but not that many years ago, if you drove your foreign car into the employees parking lot at Ford or GM plants it just might have scratches in the paint, or a broken window/headlight when shift change came about. I guess I'm just as guilty as the next person. I won't drive a foreign car, but my TV is a Samsung.
Thanks for the reminder, my sweetie and I will start paying more attention. Dick
I have written a chapter called I Am That, I Am in this inspirational compilation book by best-selling authors and wonderful people from all walks of life xox :-D (Its sister book is called Adventures In Manifesting - Success and Spirituality)
(((HUGS))) and much love, your friend in Texas, Karen Lynn. :D
GOD BLESS YOU
