I'd rather pay 50c more for a head of lettuce than pay 90% more in taxes (our property taxes just got raised to build more classrooms for the illegals kids). I agree---but that logic is lost on some....we hear cries of "BUY AMERICAN", but don't hear "HIRE AMERICAN" now, do we? As far as schools go---our kids end up being taught in portable trailers. Hello 3rd World.

I no longer live by the buy american mantra. I tend to buy from countries that aren't our enemies & don't have nuclear weapons aimed at us. At least I know when I get something cheap this way I'm not being snookered behind the scenes for the cost of the item + all the social services the manufacturers suck up in this country. I also don't eat chicken anymore. With all these uneducated unskilled people in the chicken processing plants is it any wonder that we're always hearing how contaminated chicken meat is?
