I would like to buy only domestic goods. However I simply can't get by on warplanes, bombs, paper clips and red tape. T

quote: ORIGINAL: Raechard quote: ORIGINAL: Irishknight Popeye points out a growing section of Americans. I am, and have been for a while, a proAmerican shopper. Does this cover American corporations that manufacture their products abroad or does it have to be 100% American? What if a foreign company employs American workers, would you buy their products if they were in direct competition with an American company that used overseas workers to manufacture their products? We live in a world of multinationals, are you going to buy fuel from Exon mobile if Shell is cheaper? You'd be keeping just as many American's in work in either case or perhaps you are going to demand an audit of the workforce of every shoe corporation before buying a pair of shoes? Funy you should mention that, I just bought a new pair of "Wolverine" hiking boots at Sears a few weeks ago made in Michigan.

Conceeded, there are more domestically made things than I mentioned. I think Carhats are made here, some furniture etc. some seemingly overpriced tools, which don't break because they are Xrayed (count Sears out of that as of a few decades ago). So I stand corrected, but only a little bit. Popster, OK the boots are fine but what about the socks under them ? T
