When our first Wal-Mart opened, the signs hanging from the ceiling and on the tags proudly proclaimed Made in the USA. Then Sam Walton died and so did the original idea behind his stores. Now most things come from China, Indonesia and India, with a little of Taiwan and the Philippines thrown in. A USA tag is all too rare.

"A USA tag is all too rare."

Darn near non-existant. I would be willing to pay double for almost anything with a made in the USA tag, and I am not wealthy. Trouble is that American made products are too often unavaliable at any price.

THe truth is that we are paying every bit as much for these goods, manufactured by semi-slaves working for peanuts, as we would pay for a similar product created by Americans drawing respectable wages, assuming such products were available.

Our jobs are going overseas-we are being flooded with illegal aliens from all over, to take away from American's, the few jobs left here.

THe whole damn world is out to destroy America, and American's at the leadership level are lemmingesquely suicidal.
