Francis Ford Coppola Quotes
I used to love going into local hardware stores, to look at little things they made locally. Nowadays it's harder, though you can still do it in Vietnam.
Coppola, Francis Ford. Interview. The Guardian, Guardian News & Media, 15 Nov. 2009.
The National Chamber of Commerce claims that the represent American business and indeed many business men and women join their local Chamber of Commerce, never realizing that the National Chamber of Commerce is controlled by partisan political ideologues who mainly represent the largest of corporations. The leaders have extreme egos and spend millions of dollars from the local chambers to put themselves on television with their own TV studios and ignoring the interest of most small businesses. When Hollings made this quotation, he felt that many large companies were moving their manufacturing and packaging to China. This not only exported the jobs of American workers, but hurt small businesses who could no longer sell the large companies packaging material, printing, sub assembly of even supply parts. The nut and bolt manufacturer in Peoria no longer sells the nuts and bolts to an American Manufacturer as the Chinese make their own nuts and bolts. Even small training companies had few workers to train. But the National Chamber of Commerce took the money from small business as they lobbied hard for the expansion of business with China. The National Chamber, never puts its policies to a vote of its member companies or the small companies would out vote the larger ones and the monopolies whom the Chamber national executives mainly serve.
