so your proud to be an american, so you only use american products, which basically means you walk around naked, have no electronics in your home, no toys for the kids, no computers to type on garage journal with, no bed spread, or silverware to eat with, no lawn and garden equipment, and the insides of you american cars are empty cause, who do you think makes all of those components for your car. radio? little electric motors, or you must be a billionaire to afford nothing but american made products.
Doesn't have to walk around naked because there ARE American made clothes out there.
Doesn't have to resort to Asian made electronics, because there ARE higher end US made electronics out there.
Doesn't have to have toy-less kids with companies like Green Toys and Uncle Goose pumping out quality, and affordable, fully American made toys today.
They might still be using an American assembled computer - old but it still works.
I know there must be a company that makes a bedspread in the USA, even if it's a lady out of her home.
I just discovered "Rada" makes affordable dinner knives (no forks or spoons, but huge selection of knives).
I still see American made lawn and gardening products in stores over here (Canada).
As for cars, saying it's an "empty cause" is like saying "my dad lost use of his left arm after the stroke, and just shuffles around when walking. He's also lost some of his memory too - he doesn't remember me some of the time. I think it's time to give up on him and just let him die."
Well maybe your father was a American hard working s.o.b. that built this country you live in ....maybe in the form of building American cars. Maybe along the way his company outsourced some of the parts here and there because they had to compete with the foreign car companies (or maybe they were in fact plain greedy), so yes, now your father has lost some of his working "parts", but he (just like the remaining American manufacturing workforce) hasn't lost his faith in you being there for him and supporting him - at least what's left of him. He was there for you and supported you. It makes moral sense to reciprocate.
There are a lot of American owned companies left, still making products in the U.S. You just have to keep an eye and ear open for them. It's ignorant to think they don't exist and it's impossible to buy American.
I honestly can't remember the last product I've purchased that
wasn't made in Canada, USA, or Europe. I've been able to steer clear of asian made products for about the last 5 years. I buy what I need or want, and save up my money to buy quality domestic products. I don't get sucked into cheap deals, just to save my OWN wallet. I'm looking out for YOUR wallet too.
