Sure about that?

This seems contradictory, since someone so concerned with helping others should be giving away every bit of wealth not necessary to support a minimum standard of living.

Lol. That's funny. With that kind of money, I would be hoping for a couple rings.

well, we just need to make him the perfect one than he won't need anymore (save him a little money for helping out the next starving artist)

You know, distribution of wealth and good deeds aren't all "charity and give-away related... creation of jobs in many ways is better than a hand out... give a man a job and you give him hope... one job begets another and like that...

He buys a ring, or he buys a yacht or a mansion or whatever he buys for himself he's spreading the wealth... he doesn't have to live in abject poverty to be philanthropic... does he? (what are the odds of me spelling that one correctly?)

One of the things I am very happy about is creating U.S. manufacturing jobs. Not many yet but it's coming. If there was a doctor for the U.S. economy and future, this is what he would prescribe. The State of Texas and Virginia have been just wonderful to me, offering help to the cause (Division of Economic Development)

Take Bob's jewelry. the manufacturing dollar goes to the baker, the car mechanic, the raw material distributor, tool makers, tradesmen as they upkeep the manufacturing facilities, accountants etc....and Bob even spreads some manufacturing profits to a few strippers from time to time (just kidding Bob). Each dollar gets circulating through 20....50....who knows how many jobs. If Bob didn't make his jewelry, India would...and all those jobs will not be supported. Bob can be very proud of that and even more if he exports bringing foreign dollars into the U.S. economy.

I heard today 28 million people get food stamps in the U.S. Why? FEW MANUFACTURING JOBS ANYMORE

These are some of the things, in this thread, the mentality that make a venture good for all, not just one and spread the benefits; a charitable demeanor across the board. Leading with heart. The point I am trying to make is when you know your heart beats right...there just ain't no stopping you...you WILL BELIEVE in yourself.

If you have a financial business that runs on numbers only, well then it would be nice if you offer a FAIR deal even if you can outsmart the consumer. When the consumer trusts you, they will dump all they have on your desk. Win-win.

Yes Bob, the big boat is in the plans, the one thing I want for parties with friends and co-workers. The company boat. A smile of success, laughter with friends, a drink under the stars and on top of the water....all the worries left on land...THE BEST.

You realize that the number of manufacturing jobs in the United States has stayed relatively flat for 50 years. Meanwhile, technology has drastically improved productivity. There are more manufacturing jobs today than there were in 1958, even though we don't need 10 people on an assembly line anymore to make a widget; we have automated equipment for that.

28 million people do not get food stamps because there are few manufacturing jobs anymore.

I must say i am curious why you could not break into the Australian market ?

[ron komorowski]

Plastic, metal, wood and glass products are not made in the U.S. anymore. What could be left? How could manufacturing not be down in the U.S.? Yes, we manufacture software and other technologies but that is leaving too.

Wherever you have seen numbers posted that say we still have the same number of manufacturing jobs must be misinterpreted by someone.

I recently got a rotor for my brakes. They asked me,do I want a U.S. made for $40 something or the one from China for $25. China can send a HEAVY rotor on a ship from the other side of the world and sell for half the price.

It is impossible for our manufacturing jobs to be the same for 50 years. I am in manufacturing. States are fighting so hard to keep these jobs, and they are so willing to help if you create manufacturing jobs.

China and India are now all getting in cars and eating much better food starting an energy and food world crisis. Now ask youreself why. It's because they are breaking their ass working hard, manufacturing.

In the U.S. most just want to wheel deal and steal, sell stuff. The general mentality is not many want to work in a manufacturing facility. I know. I am fighting very hard to keep my products made here. Yes automation has taken a chunk, but technology manufaturing jobs emerged to help offset losses.....and what did we do with those manufacturing jobs? Send them off to India. Everyone knows that.

No doubt our service sector has grown as we do not manufacture as much but manufacturing builds strong countries. Not servicing each other to maintain.

Could you cite your source for the information being incorrect? Or are you just shooting from the hip to support your position?

A lot of things are still manufactured in the U.S. and software is not "manufactured." And we aren't sending manufacturing jobs to India.

The thing is, moving to a service economy is not a bad thing. Manufacturing doesn't build strong countries. Improvements in efficiency through technology and innovation allow us to produce more with less. This is not a bad thing. I'll use my favorite analogy...

In the early 1800's we went through a a period known as the Industrial Revolution. Prior to this period, a large majority of people were farmers. They grew their own plants, killed their own animals, and traded with other consumers. The Industrial Revolution brought about significant changes in agriculture, manufacturing and transportation. All of a sudden, manufacturing plants were being built in urban areas. These manufacturing plants recruited boys from farms to come work in a factory in the city. At the time, these workers were only used to farming; that was their way of life. I'm sure society thought that manufacturing was going to ruin their agricultural jobs. But that's not what happened. Manufacturers built farm equipment. Farmers can then plow fields with machinery. You don't need as many farmers when you have machinery, efficiencies improved. The percentage of farmers dropped dramatically (today less than 5% of people work in agriculture, compared to over 80% in the 18th century). Did losing our farmers to manufacturing destroy America? Did we ship our farming jobs overseas? No, the economy shifted from agriculture to manufacturing. For the last 50 years, the exact same thing has been happening. Our manufacturing economy has shifted to a service economy. This is a result of technology improvements, that again, improved manufacturing effiencies. So where does manufacturing go, where it is cheapest. This does not mean the U.S. is suffering, it just means we are more efficient, we have a higher standard of living, and are living in a developed country. Countries such as China have cheap manufacturing because the market driven wages are low because of the low standard of living for a majority of the population. We grew out of this stage. Every generation of Americans has lived more confortably than the previous generation.

Here is the U.S. Department of Labor statistics for the last 50 years for both the goods producing sector (mfg, mining, and construction) and the service sector:

If you want to see manufacturing production, Bill Strauss, a Senior Economist at the Chicago Fed publishes a midwest manufacturing index once a month. You can see that midwest manufacturing production today is 5% higher than it was at the beginning of the bubble and low of the recession in 1999 and 2002 respectively. If our manufacturing output has grown 5% steadily since 2002, how can you say all our manufacturing is going overseas?
