I completely understand the point about supporing our industry. But it's waaaay more complicated than waht most people like to think of it. There are certain countrys that specialise in other things to. It's a global economic powerhouse. Profits are split and divided by foreign and domestic companies all around the globe. There are shareholders from a North American based company that live in europe.

Americans make the best products in the world And are watched and policed by all American citizens to make sure products are made safely as can be Or they are fined or sued. Companys that leave USA in make products elsewhere is for low standers ,slave wages,ect Other countries have much more closed markets. In japan only 5% of there cars are foreign made because of there gov. and there more patroitic. Many Americans used to be, lets be again. Go on line to USA MADE. Fair decent jobs USA MADE.

Unfortunately, it seems like most people don't care. I've gotten in arguments over the topic, but all people care about is how cheap they can buy things. Roger Simmermaker is pretty good about bringing his point across. He doesn't bash the other guy, he's just emphasizes the need to support the home team, if you will. He posts articles periodically on howtobuyamerican dot com, and they're always good.

Thanks for the comments, and you hit it right on the head about Roger - I think by not knocking the other guy or product so much he focuses more on the point you make - don't forget that when you can buy our products.
