it seems that what we saved in products we pay in taxes to support those programs for the needy. something to think about when we buy from china and turn our backs on people who need help feeding their families.
Agreed! I hate that we send so much work overseas and don't have enough jobs for own people! I'd pay more to simply keep the jobs here - and thus eventually costs lower all the way around.
