Buy American - Support Yourself

Isn't that contrary to the economic theories that claim products should be produced where they can be produced the cheapest? Everyone benefits according to these theories. So then ask yourself if I don't have a job, if my skill set has been outsourced, if my wages are now third world wages, how exactly does that theory help me? America was founded on the freedom to work but what if there is no work.

So I want to propose a novel idea, buy American, support yourself. Why? Simply because if the people all across the nation work, then they buy and sell; that is real trickle down, actually we'll rename it trickle around.

Reasons for not buying American are obvious. Nothing is made here anymore. Why is that, mainly because theory says cut off your nose to spite your face and then through magic the nose will heal. We, as a family, have tried for over thirty years to buy American. Our cars are American, as a matter of fact, our new Buick is rated number one in quality. Our bicycles are American, my tools are American. I just bought a screw driver set in Kmart, Craftsman still makes tools here. Shop around.

So do this starting today, ask any business you deal with to purchase American products and tell them clearly that you would sure appreciate it. Buy American made cars, bikes, and whatever you can find. If you call for information, help, or support and a foreign voice answers, tell the company you don't appreciate it. If America loses its industrial base we will soon become a third world nation of the haves and the rest of us. And there is no need for tariffs that cause unnecessary complexity, just do it, buy American. And thanks, as you are supporting me too and of course, you.

Speak up below, tell the administration to support America.

Postscript: And please don't tell me foreign cars or whatever are better. Our new Buick is number one in quality and all our American cars have been superb machines. People buy foreign because it is cheap, same reason they shop in Walmart. It's not they hate America or hate other American workers, it simply that they are cheap and fail to see the long term implications of their buying decisions.

So buy American, support the nation that enhances the happiness of all.
 
Yes. Low cost make sense to a degree, but only inside a more well balanced context, complete with other priorities and considerations.
 
but we should have tariffs. they should be called Freedom Tariffs, as they are used to deprofitize human slavery overseas.
 
America was founded on the freedom to work but what if there is no work.
At one point in time, before liberals got hold of the government, you absolutely had the freedom to work. If you couldn't find a place for your skills in someone elses company, you had every freedom to start your own. Now that liberals have 'regulated' everything, it takes your entire life savings and fortune just to pay for every license, fee, and inspector just to work for yourself. say goodbye to your right to work for yourself.
 
More biased hokum from the peanut gallery and the party that failed. You need to change your name to dumberThanMost or moreBlindThanAll! The best years we have had and the most stable were from WWII to Reagan removed regulations, and Bush finished the job. S&L and the current collapse prove one thing if they prove anything, it is greed, aka the free market, fails when left alone.
 
You need to change your name to dumberThanMost or moreBlindThanAll!
and you need to pull the cock out of your mouth, It's affecting your reading comprehension. Nowhere did I say that there should be NO regulation. What the new deal dems did was TOTALLY regulate shit to such a fucked up state, that ONLY those with money had the ability to do anything. The 'serfs' were at the mercy of the rest of the capital world. The new deal dems are the ones responsible for the current corporate domination.
 
LOL

Buy American....

What the union did not kill with their ridiculous demands, the state and federal government did with over the top regulations.

what you need to do is shut the fuck up when you don't know what you're talking about. Unions hyperinflate the prices of goods and services by paying outrageous wages for shit jobs. What customer service rep do YOU know of that should be making 22 an hour?

you're a fucking idiot moron.

I sure hope mommy doesn't see your bad language, she may wash your mouth out with soap, and while I doubt it would make you a mature grown up person, you would at least have a clean mouth!

It hard to tell if you are twelve or just your run of the mill conservative fascist? Considering your attitudes towards unions and probably a dutiful worship of corporations, fascism fits same as child does.

Sorry you hate your fellow Americans, bet you even shop in Walmart!

:blah: :blah: :blah:

it's hard for you to tell because you're just plain ignorant. My attitudes towards unions are exactly what they are and why they are that way. I worked myself up in an industry that is fiercely competitive and to see some snot nosed little punk who couldn't be respectful to his parents try to talk shit to a customer and make nearly as much as I do with my experience in IT? yeah, unions can go to hell and it has nothing to do with 'hating my fellow americans', like your inane comments are going to make me feel guilty or something.

let me guess, you're probably some sort of customer service rep for SBC, right? making that 21 dollars an hour to say hi to a customer, enter some ticket info, then shuffle it off to a more intelligent individual for tech support. Do I have that right, idiot?

Hey, support America, buy the best and don't give into national populist nonsense that actually hurts us.
 
Unions hyperinflate the prices of goods and services by paying outrageous wages for shit jobs.

How dare they ask for a decent living? How fucking DARE they?! HEALTHCARE?! FUCKING OUTRAGEOUS THAT THEY SHOULD WANT HEALTHCARE FOR THEIR BRATS!!! IF THEY'RE BRATS GET CANCER, FUCKING DIE, IT'S NOT MY PROBLEM! RETIREMENT?!!?1? WORK UNTIL YOU DIE FUCKERS!!!

And so America fucks itself over by hating its workers and therefore itself, and the only people that profit in the end are the rich, who buy themselves a new yacht for doing NOTHING.

Paradoxical, you work in a union and I don't. Without the union the whipper snapper may have just taken your job - lol. Funny you assume not only what I do, but what I make, and then place yourself above those who do that. Typical hierarchical conservative worldview, but sorry, I've made it, we liberals work hard - compare NE to the South if you doubt that. lol
 
... we liberals work hard ...

I assume this is said to imply that conservatives (or people from the South) do not. I will have to venture to say that "working hard" isn't a value or characteristic that is held solely by either group. I have see hard working folks who are liberals and I have seen hard working folks who are conservative. I have also seen lazy folks in both groups.

I have to agree with your "buy Amercian" rant though. I would never have a vehicle that wasn't a Ford, Chevy or Chrysler product. I am actually a Chevy person at the moment, though I also have a Dodge pickup. I also try to buy American in most of my everyday stuff. Even gasoline when I can.

But you have to admit that it is tough to stay strictly "American" in everything. I have a Yamaha motorcycle because I can't afford to pay for a Harley as a secondary vehicle. I have a Suzuki 4-wheeler because that is how the trade worked out. We shop mostly at Walmart because it is the only store in town. Even then I choose to "buy American" when I can.......even among the Walmart stuff.

did I say I work in a union? jeez, can't even get that much straight. can you walk and chew gum at the same time?

I agree with you 100% up until the bikes came in, you go look at a new Gold wing for example, it will cost you damn near what a Harley does, different s being is 10 years from now your Harley will be worth more than you paid for it where as the Gold wing would be hard to give away

funny, because Toyota should surpass the 'Big' Three in terms of auto production within the US this year.
