"This is the time of the year when Americans run out to their favorite retail stores and fill up their shopping carts with lots of cheap plastic crap made by workers in foreign countries where it is legal to pay slave labor wages. By doing this, the American people are actively participating in the destruction of the U.S. economy. You see, buying products that are made in America is not just a matter of national pride. It is a matter of national survival. If we do not support American workers, they are going to continue to see their jobs shipped out of the country. If we do not support American businesses, they are going to continue to die off at a staggering rate."
These jobs will not come back to the US. This isn't a problem though, just ask Singapore. The US needs to continue innovating. Manual labor isn't the key to the middle class anymore since the death of unions. It will be through computer engineering and new technology.
LOL, I just bought a gadget from China that doesn't seem to work and I'll have to send it back. I'm still waiting for something I bought from Nepal.
Buy a gun, they're mostly manufactured here in the U.S.
Good luck finding anything made in the U.S.A. that you actually want to buy. Everything on my W.L. is now made overseas. The majority of what i'm giving as gifts this year is from Coach and it's all made in China.
We make tons of stuff here. Just not power ranger figurines and cheap crap like that. It just doesn't make sense to make cheap throw away items like that here anymore. Chances are, most of us wouldn't be able to afford them if they were made here anyways.
I went to Macy's last year, and I was going to do the patriotic thing, buy me a new frying pan, made in the U.S.A, pay extra if I had to, and no such luck!
I search, high and low, for fish that doesn't say Product of China, and go to the frozen fish section of Wal-Mart some time and what will you see? Yes, even the salmon: Product of China!
