Buy Nothing Today

I tell you what, I am thankful for the children in Malaysia who make the clothes they sell at Wal Mart
I am thankful for their sub-standard wages that make it possible for me buy those clothes cheap
I am thankful they have the chance to live the Dickensian dream
I tell you what, I am thankful cars are being made in Mexico, Japan, and Germany,
rather than here in America; export the dream, I say.
I tell you what, I am thankful Halliburton has bought Iraq
cause that'll teach those Emirs in Arabia to keep raising oil prices
I tell you what, I am thankful for Wal Mart — they stay open all Thanksgiving Day
I tell you what, I don't care what it takes
just don't take away my standard of living
keep them terrorists and commies from my door.
Say what? You say my job is next to be shipped over-seas?
Well, you're still going to pay me, aren't you?
