ya'know... for awhile there i was like that... but i've noticed a pendulum swing in products and quality... back in the, say, late 90's early 2000's... made in china products were cheaper and equivalent in quality... 15 plus years later... china made products are inferior in quality and plentiful in quantity, therefore i don't mind paying a little more for made in the usa products which to me are far better in quality...

Don't get me wrong.  I'm not knocking on the typical consumers.

I have made in America tee shirt with flags and patriotic stuff on it too but I either get it for free after coupon or pay pennies for it. 

I'm jaded after hearing my government teacher in high school goes on to preach like a redneck on to why we should buy American made products like she does.  Well for starters, she is Mexican and just because her brother is the current mayor of Sacramento does not give her the white lost power to offend her Mexican people like that.  Why not support Mexico made?

If all you buy is American made when you are living in the USA then you have issues.  I have issues with people that have issues. 

Now if you have the money and we are living in southeast Asia and you want to sport the USA name brand then you have a different type of issue cuz usa made products in my country are more prestige there since they loved to be an American.

Certain products, I definitely prefer American made. Like my craftsman’s tool set that I bought over a decade ago and I lost a ratchet and just can’t seem to find a replacement with out it being made in China. I have yet to buy real American brand cars like Chevrolet or Ford. Love those rental mustang, charger, or corvette but don’t think I’m ready to be owner yet.
