This is the reason Tyson and other packing companys fought the COOL program so hard. I like to know which country the meat I eat comes from.

Tyson is taking U.S. (might I say Canadian) dollars to "invest" overseas.

Haven't we had enough of these "globalists"?

The world is their pearl.


Why should the U.S. promote a strong dollar? It only promotes those who can make a lot of money in the U.S. to then go and invest over seas.

I for one am about fed up with these unamerican businessmen. They have no ties to America other than profits.

It reminds me of Yahoo's chairman.
