Well I would be hesitant to buy anything, considering the only thing your money would go to, is keeping Chinese workers employed.

Buy American.

When you buy imports, you only send your money out of America.

That is my point. At this point, almost everything, in almost every store is made in China.

And that's the simplest of economic concepts that you fail to understand. You would prefer to have weak sales, as long as more American items are bought. Weakness is strength, right? Better to have half of a small pie, than a third of a large one.

Your point is ridiculous. Person consumption expenditures last year were about $10.7 trillion. Total imports from China were less than $400 billion. Less than 4% of personal consumption.

4% is much, much less than "almost everything".
