Shuttin' Detroit Down- John Rich

[1962dobropicker]

I am an electrical contractor in South Carolina. people wanted rid of the cotton mills because of the lower wages now I want to ask is it better to have a lower paying job like before or no job like now? I can't even borrow money from the banks we bailed out. I guess our leaders want us all on foodstamps and welfare that's where I'm headed and soon.

[JamesEarlRayFan]

[smiley283231]

i like this song, yeh we import way too much than we export. everywhere i turn u c products made in some other country and nothing made in this country and it is so sad to see, and alotta companies hiring illegal immigrants, this " president " of ours has to do something and something now.....

[Reaganwannabe]

so would you labor in a factory for minimum wage? manufactoring jobs dissapear because an economy is healthy, not sick. we export loads of food to other countries, plus technology, ect. manufactoring in 3rd world countries allows for cheaper products, plus outsourcing results in giving people in those countries a chance to live productive lives doing honest work. Americans don't want to manufacture, they want to go to college and be lawyers, and doctors, and scientists.

[jatobamaster]

We dont have enough manufacturing jobs and we are making it harder on companies to manufacture products here. The percentage of manufacturing jobs is out of line and we need manufacturing jobs to pick up. GDP GROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCT How much stuff did you make? We need to make more stuff.

[Reaganwannabe]

no, the problem is government interference. the only problem is government interference

[ashbaby777]

our main problem is the fact that we import WAY WAY more than we export so all of the products we buy are on;y supporting the world economy. what we need to do is buy locally. stop importing foods and go to local farmers markets. eat at mom and pops. but from local farmers. when we build up the communities again then we can start with global trading again...

[oney135]

let me tell u its the damn ceo's thats shuttin detroit down and as far as the immagration laws i heard that obama is going to require all companies to pay the same as americans to try to get the companies to hire less illeagals and hopfully slow immagration down and he was also going to reguire illeagals to pay taxes like everybody else but we'll see how that goes i guess

[MXRider082]

What is killing our economy? How about the rich being cheap and hiring ILLEGALS to work jobs for under minimum wage and not having to pay for insurance, they are ripping the LEGAL AMERICAN CITIZENS off.

We need to enforce immigration laws if we want to get our country working again. Give the jobs to Americans!

[kirkload]

lol dude I don't know if you know but what is really killing America is outsourcing. Every product is done in 3rd world countries such as China, Malaysia, India, Pakistan, Mexico there are only a few product done in USA :(

[krazykayla101]

exactly its all illegal imigrants fault for our economy ship them bck tot heir country and we'll be running good!

[squid30]

Im from DETROIT and Ill tell you whats shuttin Detroit down. The RASIST City Council who blams all their problems on the suberbs!!

[ChevyGuysWearBowties]

are you kidding me?? it aint the council, its granholm and that bum kilpatrick. 1 down 1 to go

[jatobamaster]

I feel you forgot OBAMA 1 down 2 to go.

[bigdigone]

and good video bud

[bigdigone]

the problem is mainly the fact that the big business man is sending all of our AMERICAN jobs overseas, to foreign countries just to save a couple of bucks. im sorry but i think we need to put a few of these businesses out on there asses and start again. we are smart enough to do this. now why don't we?

[LockCoal]

This is why I live in the country. In the country, at least what's left of it, things are better, but gettin' worse. I've lost jobs several times around here, I can't afford to feed my family half the time, and I can't live a luxurious life, but I am living an honest fucking life. I'm glad to be a redneck, and glad to live with my wife, and kid, and I'm proud to be in a country boy. This song is too damn good for words.

[blubicon]

I am a proud union member. trust me it isn't all about the money. It's about having cooler air when you are working on the line, about having a lunch break, about simple things. I admit the money is nice, but it's not everything.... Thanks for the song and the video.

[pvfc63fire]

in ur username 14 and 88 fan mean Dale Earnhardt Jr and Tony Stewart Fan? lol nice video. great sonng!

[200914and88fan]

[pvfc63fire]

cool

[NYCHOMELAND]

I live In New York City and I am a Union member. The unions are killing this great nation of ours. When I go to the union meetings all the talk is how great this change is and what perks we are getting for free. It is my tax money that is balling out wall street to.
