What a load of ill-informed anti-union crap. Have you ever lookeed into a Knapp Shoe catalog? If so you will notice a wide a varity of American made shoes.
Do you have any idea what American shoe and garment workers make an hour? It is less than ten dollars an hour on average. Would you make ends meet on less than twenty grand a year? Not much of a chance of sending your kids to college on ten dollars an hour.
You can justify your support of Communist China any way you want but every time you purchase something from Wal-Mart that is made in China you are providing the Reds with more ammunition to be fired at our kids.
Wal-Mart has a new trick working. The nation of origin on many items isn't placed on the item. It is placed on the box that the item is displayed in. If you pull the box from the shelf then you the see the home office of Wal-Mart proudly stamped on the box, China.

Here is another trick that Wal-Mart has, hand in hand with their Chinese friends. We have crappy import quotas. Basically, we won't allow the Chinese to dump billions of things on us, to overwhelm us, so they have an import quota. Here is how Wal-Mart and China get around it. They reach their import quota. They manufacture more clothes for 10 cents an hour labor. Send it to a country without a quota, without a "Made in China" tag. They then, add the value of the tag in this new country, and it might say, made in Indonesia, made in Zimbabwe, or wherever, and be allowed into the US after that.

Alot of the clothing you are buying now that isn't labeled made in China, is actually made in China other than the tag. In fact the tag itself most likely is made in China. The tag gets sewed on though in Indonesia. Therefore you are buying an Indonesian shirt, not a Chinese one. It's all about letting the consumer decide what they want after all.

Thank you for exposing your ignorance in presuming I would support the Chinese killing our children, without bothering to seek the truth. The truth, not that you seem to be interested, is that I diligently seek alternatives to Chinese-made goods, whether I'm shopping at a Wal-Mart, a local mom & pop retailer, a major department store or home improvement store or online.

I very rarely buy shoes and haven't seen a Knapp catalog. I will look into it, and if Knapp makes a shoe I need and can wear, I'll buy from them.
