We like your post. My husband just said that we have to tell the store's management front office "I would have spent $300 today, but I will not because you are not carrying an American made product."
Very quickly they will realize that they just lost hundreds of thousands of dollars in lost sales..........and that they have to find products that are made in America.
Plastic items, led lights, everything for Christmas is made in China.....
all the FISHER PRICE toys are made in China.........and cute and cheap, but no one makes toys in America anymore???
Make a conscience effort this holiday season to tell the store management you would have spent so many dollars in your store but will not until they stock "Made in America." He said he's not a union man by any means, but a Vermont craftman who retired from his jewelry store.........whereby customers would LOVE that he had AMERICAN FLAGS on his watches that were made in America...........and any of his pieces of jewelry that he made in Vermont he'd have flags and made in Vermont, made in U.S.A. and so people are indeed fed up with MADE IN CHINA.
If people continue at the present rate of buying everything from China, our grandchildren will not be flipping hamburgers because there will not be any people to afford the hamburgers.
Detroit has gone down the tubes because of their lack of manufacturing; it is not blue collar jobs only but there is management, engineering, computer skills, etc.............that are all inter related to having American production, jobs, etc. All types. Think twice, he says before going to Home Depot but then again, I just reminded him he just bought a table and chair set and umbrella for our deck MADE IN CHINA. Can't win.
