Maybe it is time for a real thrust to buy American but that never
really takes off when you see the price tags.

Really? I bought a 23 year old german car rather than a new American
car. Why? Quality. The 23 year old car rides, drives better despite
lacking 23 years of technical progress.

The 23 year old car was more expensive than most modern American boxes
but it won't depreciate like the American pieces of crap.

I'd much rather purchase a superior American product, even at a higher
price. They aren't offered anymore because cheap **** imported by
Walmart, Target and others have flooded the shelves.

You just said two different things.

Okay, pick one.

My point is that I'd much rather purchase a quality built item built
by an American firm in America, even at a higher price.

I think that's doing one's part without being a sucker.

I certainly lean toward protectionism given the current state of
things. Money that floats in China, cheap offshore labor that
replaces American workers and wages, American industry having to
compete with inferior quality goods that are poorly engineered, built
to last 10 minutes and sold cheap to the stupid suckers who cannot
fathom that by participating in this downward spiral that they're
ensuring their kids will grow up in a third world country.

Walmart is anti-American.
