The OP was talking about cars too ... if you read the rest of my posts in this thread I make the point that at least American gun manufacturers aren't that bad.Quote:

Too many of us have bought the lie that it is too expensive to produce anything here. Offshoring increases corporate profits and investor's returns, but breaks the back of the middle class...Quote:

Because, guess what, its not just manufacturing being pushed out anymore. I'm fucking sick of being sold out by not only my own government, but by big business as well.
Ok. Rant over, but I make an effort to buy American made products whenever possible. China already gets too many American dollars.
Sorry about the thread hijack, but this is a very sore subject for me.
If the world was one big free market then I agree. Buy the best product. But it's that way. I feel like we're in fight for our way of life. So screw the world. I'm buying American.
