American workers in California? LOL! Atleast with Ford, the money floats back into the US. Toyota, the pittance gets paid to the workers here, but most goes right back to Japan.
Of course, both of my cars are now Mazdas. And the counter point to that is, at the time my cars were built, Ford owned the controlling stake in Mazda and they still have a large stake in them.

Yeah, I'd never make the argument that Springfield Armory, Inc is good because it's American. I don't think there's a single American part on my XD.
However the real Springfield Armory, the one that was actually based in Springfield Mass., owned and operated by the DoD, now THAT was an American gun maker. Shame they were dissolved
Oh yeah, and I buy whatever I like, but I am biased towards American and German guns. Mostly because they make what I want. Colts, S&Ws, Mausers, and H&Ks.
