The American Dream
Joe Smith started the day early, having set his alarm clock (made in
Japan)
for 6:00a.m. While his coffee pot (made in China) was perking, he
shaved
with his electric razor (made in Hong Kong).
He put on a dress shirt (made in Sri Lanka), designer jeans (made in
Singapore), and tennis shoes (made in Korea). After cooking his
breakfast in his new electric skillet (made in India), he sat down with
his calculator (made in Mexico), to see how much he could spend today.
After setting his watch (made in Taiwan), to the radio (made in India),
he
got in his car (made in Germany) and continued his search for a
good-paying American job. At the end of yet another discouraging
and
fruitless day, Joe decided to relax for a while. He put on his
sandals (made in Brazil), poured himself a glass of wine (made in
France),
and turned on his TV (made in Indonesia), then wondered why he can't
find
a good-paying job in AMERICA.
