In my experience, the majority of people are absolute hypocrites when it comes to "Buy American" and outsourcing.

They talk a good game and love to wave the flag, but when it affects their pocket book all bets are off--they will buy the cheapest product every time!

That was a rhetorical question.

Regardless, patronizing walmart, even if you "buy American", supports walmart which in turn fuels the Chinese economy.

We don't shop at Wal Mart. That corporation is China's largest exporter and quickly becoming their largest employer. We have 6 kids and my wife is a stay at home mom. If we can avoid Wally world most anyone can.

That is a sad but true statement. It is greed and the mindset that it doesn't matter or that they alone won't make a difference.

Like I said early on in the thread... when will we as a nation wake up?

Speaking of made in China, well to a degree. I'm not sure if anyone has heard this as it hasn't been on the news much.

China is opening a car manufacturing plant in Mexico. I'm not exactly sure who is going to work there (Mexicans or Little Maos). The purpose of this is due to our great FREE TRADE agreements. Because of NAFTA these cars will be sold without tarrifs, as compared to if they were made in China. Definately won't be a good one for our auto makers.

Sorry If I sounded mean Twisted Copper in my earlier post. I was just trying to point out that Blackhawk is completely hypocritical and only doing so so they can still sell stuff to the U.S.

I think our trade agreements bring alot of what is happening. Free Trade means made outside the USA. The Security and Prosperity Partnership (NWO) has also be undermining our people and attempting to get more trade deals through. They were the ones that were trying to get Mexican truckers on our roads.

Not only cars (in China they are already making every brand you can think of including Buick which is the most popular car over there) but they just announced they will also soon be making planes.

Some like to sit in their Made in China underwear while typing on their Made in China computers about how much they hate Made in China. But I don't blame China at all. For fault look in the mirror.

Take a look at planes which is the most (in $$) that we export. China says to Boeing that they will buy as many planes as they want to sell as long as the factory is in China. We give them the technology & know how and in a few years what happened to GM will happen to Boeing. Not sure why everybody is surprised. I don't care if you jump off a building just don't be surprised when you get hurt.

Yeah after all look at Harley. But I have to admit when I wanted to buy Made in America I bought a Toyota. Made in Kansas!
