Think About This One!!! It is short but very interesting!

A car company can move it's factories to Mexico and claim it's a free market.

A toy company can out source to a Chinese subcontractor and claim it's a free market.

A shoe company can produce its shoes in south east Asia and claim it's a free market. A major bank can incorporate in Bermuda to avoid taxes and claim it's a free market.

We can buy HP Printers made in Mexico. We can buy shirts made in Bangladesh. We can purchase almost anything we want from 20 different countries

BUT, heaven help the senior citizens who dare to buy their prescription drugs from a Canadian pharmacy. That's called un-American! And you think the pharmaceutical companies don't have a powerful lobby? Think again!

Forward this to every person you know over age 50. It is an interesting thought. Maybe this is an issue that should come up in the next election!

Forget the 50, send it to everyone. We're all in this boat together!

government such as it is will always be finacially motivated as long as we allow it to be ...... remeber your history lessons folks . this government is for the people BY the people ...... we need to stand up to travestys like these ....

want another one .. in one county here in NY Gas prices average 3.25/gall.
across the river in the next county ... gas prices average 2.98/gall.

tell me again how it is different to sell gas at unreasonable prices ...... to travel 800 miles inland you can get gas at an average of 2.55/gall. and again .. something is very wrong . and thats corperations BUY politics and abuse the systems

GOD BLESS AMERICA

There are buses that go from Seattle to Vancouver every day full of senior citizens who buy their drugs in Canada. I'm not sure what they have to go through at the border on returning. Has anyone ever done this?
