Well, it's either you get the stuff cheap by having it made in China in their sweat shops, or get it not-as-cheap by having it made by the United States and other free countries with their human rights and labor laws.
The People's Republic of China should have collapsed under its own weight much like the Soviet Union if companies from free nations have not been financing it since the 1970's. The only thing that'll stop China now from being an economic bully is a revolution and/or a war.
That has been a pet peeve of mine ever since I seen a decal on small American flag. "Made in China". Why, the in the name of our Forefathers, are we letting this happen?
I have to keep china garbage parts working every single people ask me why there having so many problems and things failing all the time.....CHINA IS WHY every day! Some things won't last 6 months that would last 30 yeras before when made in America I am sick of this BS it has destroyed America!!
I feel the same way you do man. I always check where things are made at when i'm walking around a store and it's almost allways made in china, and it really used to irk me. but the more i think about it, it's usealy something relatively cheap, and China is one of our allies, so it's not as bad for me any more. now when it comes to a large purchase such as car, I deffinitly want to make sure i agree with where it is made.
@keystothearmory If it's helping the project thats good, but the problem I have My fedarally issued uniform was made in Mexico, and some military friend of mine said some of their uniforms are made in China. That I have an issue with. My job is defending America from enimies foreign and domestic which I take pride in. But the fact that my uniform is not made in America is really insulting to me.
I could not have agreed with you more. These United States of America need to get back to a common ground and it starts with We The People. We are losing our identity as definition and defining what "Made in America" really means. The pride of this great nation needs to be re-found.
@ckmanzano - You're exactly right. But if given the chance to compete on the market - Cheap Chinese products that break and wear down in a few months vs. American more expensive, but durable lasting for years - I think the long run economics is for every 1 American product purchased, we aren't buying the 10 or 20 Chinese mass manufactured with cheap products and labor. The long term is that it costs more to buy Chinese or cheap labor products.
America has sold it's soul to the devil. Business owners are kicking American workers to the curb to make huge profits overseas. All in the name of greed!
@KryptKeeper40 - You'd make an ideal US Congressman. Seriously. It's not the lawyers we need running this country it's the average citizen that should be running this country. The John Adams of their day. Pass legislation that those American companies hiring overseas will pay such high taxes on their foreign earnings that it makes it cheaper to hire Americans to build their products. The Chinese are already catching wind of this demanding higher wages like the USA workers would have made.
@ShooterReview I hate to see the constant trend of American's losing their jobs because of greedy business owners. Clinton really opened the door when he signed NAFTA into law back in 1992. That started the quick downward spiral creating massive job loss in manufacturing. If we continue this trend, we will be a 3rd world country in no time! Things need to change and they needed to change yesterday.
I tend to agree that price point was the deciding issue, but then again you may not even be able to find something like that made in the US, very few things are still made here, its a damn shame, but in some respect we have kind of done this to ourselves wanting cheaper prices, we could just refuse to buy!
Some things still made in the USA: Firearms, Cars, Higher End New Balance shoes, support US products when you can. God Bless the USA
I agree 100% brother and I applaud you for doing the right thing then speaking against this China BS. When the American flag in made in China then we are truly in trouble
I think about that all the time, aside from the fact that they are our enemy, how can it be cheaper to ship the metal to them, have them refine it and mold it, package it and send it all the way back here?
thats unregulated runaway Capatilism for you, Bussiness dont get taxed and dont pay tarrifs thanks to the GOP and the pussy democrats, so they long ago outsourced all the jobs to make themselves more money. People and the right bitch and moan about 'Socalism' and other horseshit, while the rich industralist cocksuckers they fap too send their jobs overseas. They didnt give a crap about the poor and middle class, so why not? And the Demo are such pussies they wont bother to stop them
Very nice video and subject matter, a few of my friends and I have spoken on this very same subject many of times. MADE IN ???? not in the good ole US of A. But the truth of it is products made in the U.S. are becoming harder to come by and obtain. I look every time Im in a store and I come out perplexed. LOL. We complain about this type of thing but the companies are steadily outsourcing to save money and make a profit. Oh well. Thanks for posting the video and supporting our troops.
Thank you for this video. My husband and I are always offended by seeing patriotic merchandise with "Made in China" tags on it. Thank you for speaking on this subject and for your support of the U.S. military.
might not have came across as i meant...yes the reason it came from china was to keep the price point low and earn more profit.....I mean is no place sacred anymore lol i'm more surprised when something doesnt say made in china
I really am indifferent on this subject. I know nothing about this fundraiser so I do not know how they operate. The only thing I can say is maybe the more money the wounded warrior project saves on the production of merchandise the more money goes those service men in need?
I realize and admire that you would be willing to spend double for a made in the USA, but maybe many who would normal buy one at 5.99 would dismiss the product if it had a 10.99 price tag.
It shows two chinese soldiers on the front.

You will have more funds, because it's less expensive if it's made in China. If it were made in the U.S. there wouldn't be funds left
