FUCK the world economy...I care about the American economy...and American workers.
Would you be ok paying more for all your products then?
I already do. I do my absolute best to NOT buy anything that sez "Made in China" on it.
Yes, I understand and grudgingly accept that there are some categories where I won't have any "non-Chinese" options, and I either grin & bear it, and buy the Chinese product...or do without it.
Sadly, corporate greed has already killed a lot of industries in the USA, and sending the jobs that employed thousands of US workers to places like Japan, then Hong Kong, then Taiwan, and now China and Vietnam, although some companies have located in Thailand and other "free but poorly regulated and poorly paid" countries.
if you're an American, you SHOULD support American workers. if you don't...don't come crying if your job is off-shored. Accounting/bookkeeping, architecture-related, finance, and many, many more jobs are being sent to India and China...yours could be next. (those with "hands-on" types of jobs, such as construction or nursing are safe(r) for now...but the corporations are always looking for cheaper labor...)
