‘Big problem for Americans’
With each new report of lead detected on a made-in-China toy, Americans express outrage: These toys could poison children. But Chinese workers making the toys — and countless other products for America — touch and inhale carcinogenic materials every day, all day long: Benzene. Lead. Cadmium. Toluene. Nickel. Mercury.

Many are dying. They have fatal occupational diseases.

Mostly they are young, in their 20s and 30s and 40s. But they are dying, slow difficult deaths, caused by the hazardous substances they use to make products for the world — and for America. Some say these workers are paying the real price for America’s cheap goods from China.

“In terms of responsibility to Chinese society, this is a big problem for Americans,” said Zhou Litai, a lawyer from the city of Chongqing who has represented tens of thousands of dying workers in Chinese courts.

Do you think you will see the above story on MSNBC, CNBC, FOX News? Doubtful, how about having the writer on one of the above networks? No, too busy putting on Ann Coulter to hawk her epic tome “Republicans should kill all Democrats” or whatever it is called.

Don’t forget about this infamous video below where CNBC anchor Erin Burnett told Chris Matthews it is good China poisons our food. Matthews never challenged her on these idiotic statements. In fact he rewards her with an appearance on the Chris Matthews show last week.
