America has gradually been sold out by its own people for years. The bottom line is that people will buy the cheap stuff no matter what the cost down the road. Greed is the factor here. Not just corporate America either. Corporate America provides consumers with exactly what they want: the cheapest price.

The solution is to boycott the stores, and to not buy anything made in China. Do kids really need crappy plastic cheap toys made in China? If these things just sit on the shelves, the corporations will get the hint.

I'm sure glad I never came near any lead in the 50's growing up: I would be dead by now! That sh*t sounds dangerous, like you die instantly if you even look at it!

In the small town we live in we have two grocery's and a wall-mart. We try to stay away from wall-mart as much as we can. That is not all ways possible.

This is a way for China to poison our kids minds so they grow up to be stupid enough to buy products from China.

Not only that, but the cost for medical, physical, mental care for these people.
How can you build an ARMY with mentaly lead poisoned people?

And our government does not and will not do something about this!

Let's buy more stuff from China.
