That's why Obama says he plans on ending tax breaks for companies who ship our jobs overseas.

People are so worried about products from China, you should all be alot more worried about products coming from Mexico.

Now we can include the Hershey bar in that.

Too bad they also make the American version of Cadbury.

Buy foreign chocolate(Swiss for example)...it tastes better anyhow. Hershey's is like oil...

Someone in the USA should see a gap and step in...

Sees chocolate in CA is delicious...
Time to buy local, even it is the end of the $.50 candy bar.

I like the Toblerone bar and Lindt chocolates. I guess I will be eating that now rather then Hershey products.

Nafta and all these trade deals must go! Nafta's great for the ultra-rich, not so good for the middle class.

Nafta is also a good deal for Mexico but not so much for us.

Did you know that its against the law in Mexico to bring a car down there from the US and sell it in Mexico? IF you can get your car across the boarder without them confiscating it, people will pay cash and alot of it for American cars.

They LOVE to confiscate cars under this law but its funny how when Mexicans come to the US to steal cars and take them back for the Mexican police to drive so little is said.

I need a boycott Hershey t-shirt !!

We're not a true industrial nation anymore, but a consumers country. Leaders of large companies do not want to pay people good wages with benefits, if they could get people to work for free, some how they would.
