those wacky randriods always up to something. :)
If it's a choice between buying a bad American-made product and a good foreign-made product, yes, I would buy the foreign-made product. But I think it's patriotic to shop for American-made products when there's a reasonable choice.
Of course the more businessmen that have this attitude will lead to an America that will be quite unamerican. It will lead to a European style social democracy with the social problems of Brazil when the votes of the workers that are displaced are added up with the votes of poor immigrants.
As I said before, if these trends are not stopped, businessmen like this one will be quite unhappy that they pay over 40% of their income to the FEDs, close to 15% of their taxes to to state and local agencies and they have that nasty "Health Security" payroll tax that would have been put in place in 2009. Can someone tell these guys that Social Darwinism has never worked?
Buying American is akin to Marxism? Please . . .
Free trade is anything but. Investigate the tarrifs levied against us by our "free trade" partners in Europe and Asia sometime. When you get bored with the repetition of that, look into the sourcing practices of the Japanese companies stateside.
Where do you draw the line should 90% and is that fair to us? of what is on the shelves be foreign made? I feel 10% only should be imported as a strong economy is based on from the earth up manufacturing.

Typical idealistic, unrealistic crap from an Ayn Randian.
