| Gee, what a shock. Well folks, help me get this song out there. My father did a song about off-shoring of jobs and replacing American workers which cheaper foreign labor while the big guys kick back and collect the extra revenue. I want this song to be the next YouTube explosion, and with your help we might make it happen... if you like this, spread it like a virus to everyone you know! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QwPAcDC2AMcThanks guys! _________________ Team Act Audio2010 Season:Stock 0-600 - 152.3 dB 2009 Season:Stock 0-600 - 151.1 dB (region 4 '09 record) Street Beat 2 - 150.7 dB (region 4 '09 record) 2008 Season:Stock 0-600 - 147.8 dB http://www.actaudio.net/teamaa.asp"I reject your reality and substitute my own ..." |

| that was an awesome song guy, its true, my home town is suffering cause guys are shipping the jobs off to different country's so they can make a lil more money. what they don't realize is that stuff last longer when its made here. i know back in the early 90's an late 80's the furniture factory's were boomin in my hometown now they are ghost factory's cause they have all shipped off. |

| makes you think DAMN how true , before we moved to iowa we lived in florida , my wife forked for en electronics company that was sold twice , she worked there for 14 years , they closed the plant and moved it to mexico , ( lower labor/benifits) ,that one plant employed three shifts , at about 300-500 per shift , thats is why you can buy a sony big screen from a big box chain , or a sony big screen from a sony dealer and pay 25-50% more but what people dont relize is the quality of where its built , wave solder vs hand soldered , being paid a couple dollars an hour vs 14+ dollars per hour , granted that the cost of living is different , but who is buying that product ...us so let us build it. |

CT has no real paper plants or industrial work that is stable, and construction is at a close due to the impending winter months... Not to mention I don't know the first thing about manfacturing etc...

| I'm glad you guys all like this song! Help me make it big! I want all of our 'representatives' to see what the average joe is feeling right now... spread this like a virus!  If interested, you can buy the album this came from @ http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/etx2 (advanced notice, they are a Christian band so a good part of the CD is themed as such.) If you want a copy of the song (just that one song), you can get it on iTunes for $0.99 I think ... I know it's up there just not 100% sure on the price... My goal is to drive that videos hit count from 1100+ to 11000+ ... _________________ Team Act Audio2010 Season:Stock 0-600 - 152.3 dB 2009 Season:Stock 0-600 - 151.1 dB (region 4 '09 record) Street Beat 2 - 150.7 dB (region 4 '09 record) 2008 Season:Stock 0-600 - 147.8 dB http://www.actaudio.net/teamaa.asp"I reject your reality and substitute my own ..." |
