This one says it for me and all those pissed off 50 plusers LIKE me...


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 Southeast 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 or Mexican pharmacy. That's called un-American and illegal and our politicians want to stop it.

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. Even if you aren't in this boat now, you're standing on the pier.
