Nice strawman.
Are you going to attempt to argue that the American consumer choices has no affect on their fellow Americans?
I didn't think so.
I am not trying to be an ass here, really. The audience saying the pledge of allegiance spontaneous like this is a cool thing. But at the same time, I don't hesitate to address people when they start waving flags and wearing plastic bracelets and bumper stickers - none of these make you a good American.
A good American not only can say the pledge, but lives like they mean it.
I will point out though...one of my all time pet peeves is how American consumers make their purchases while not giving a flying rolling doughnut about how many jobs are loss because they buy what is cheapest with no regard for where it is made and by who.
Then give me an example.
Why should Americans who are hanging on by a thread buy things which are more expensive or otherwise don't meet their needs?
Seriously?
What goes around comes around Revere.
We just found out today that our dishwasher is busted and the repair will cost as much as a new one.
I will not buy Whirlpool as they have moved virtually all appliance manufacturing out of the U.S. I will not buy KitchenAire as they are no longer made here either. G.E.?? Don't even go there, although they are slated to add jobs in the U.S. as a payback to the Obama administration's green initiatives...but that is a paltry - insignificant number to the 10,000's they fired to build HUGE plants in Mexico and India.
So what am I going to buy?
Bosch - because they are made in America. They have plants in NC and CA.
They are excellent appliances and prices are within reason of cheaper-slave labor made brands.
You buy a Bosch then.
Don't put up a wall for me so Whirlpool and Bosch can build whatever they want and charge whatever they want and I have no choices.
