Buy American is a sham. If we would have bought American all through the ‘70’s, and not bought Japanese, Detroit would not have had any motivation to change their style and make better cars. (1970’s)I will be damned if I buy an AMC car when there are Japanese models that are 10 times better. How about Unions being a reason for high overhead?

Baloney.

If we’d have been buying American since the 1970’s.

We’d still know how to make stuff, and we wouldn’t owe all our money to foreigners who hate us.

Wake up.

No it's not, it's called patriotism. As an American, I want my purchases to help my countrymen, and I want my country to be self-sufficient, not dependent on or subservient to foreigners.
