		<description>With the exception of 1 computer dvdr for $ 22.00 there is absolutely no Chinese under our tree. My food is local and free of Chinese chemicals. My toothbrush was cheaper than the Koch brands and well made in the USA.

So what is under your tree this year?

there are local shops, good prices and it is getting harder to find some items. But my family agreed no Chinese but the computer part. American or not!</description>

		<description>Because Obama extended the jurisdiction of OSHA and the EPA to the North Pole, so Santa couldn&#039;t afford the expense of regulatory compliance, so he had to move his production to Taiwan where there are no worker safety laws and plenty of skilled workers to do the work the elves used to do.

Now all the toys come back smelling like kim chee and durian, but hey let them air out for a while and they&#039;re just as good.</description>

		<description>He was outsourcing it to the USA for a long time. I suppose he thinks everyone needs a turn, and the elves only have a small union.</description>

		<description>China has cheap labor, and if we send those factory to &#039;Sants&#039; &#039;elves&#039; all they will do is complain that the working conditions are bad and not do a thing. The &#039;elves&#039; a bit too pampered and rich to be forced to do such things!</description>
