Facing Closure, U.S.'s Largest Sleeping Bag Maker Seeks Relief From Free Trade Loophole

Quote
Exxel Outdoors Inc., which employs nearly 70 workers in its Alabama factory and makes about 2 million sleeping bags per year, has been pressing the Obama administration
to lift an exemption that lets Bangladesh import sleeping bags into the country without paying a 9 percent tariff.

"You can't leave an American manufacturer at a competitive disadvantage with a foreign worker," Harry Kazazian, chief executive of the company, told FoxNews.com.

But that's apparently what the Obama administration has done, turning down the company's request in an initial ruling and forcing Exxel to submit another request.

Where are these folks supposed to get new jobs?  An American manufacturer looking for a level playing field and what do they get?  Obamacare?  Ignored?  Higher taxes?  EPA regulation?

Was this CEO invited to Obama's special meeting last week?  The one where he invited big shots? 

It's not that Obama and the Democrat's are against the American worker, they're just for the worker in foreign nations.

I wonder if the workers in America are union?  The workers in Pakistan?

It doesn't do any good to hate anyone,
they'll end up in your family anyway...
