Give me back the America I love and once knew

What happened to Made in America?

Has this country sold out? yep we have.

you still get the rest made in freakin' China so why such a markup?


Slip,
It is ridiculous how these companies are getting products and raw materials from overseas and still marking up so much! I have a small tackle company, some of the members here know me. ALL my raw materials are U.S. made and of U.S. origin. When I was starting up, I spent a lot of time tracking down suppliers and making sure all materials were US made. It costs me on the bottom line, because most consumers don't care about "Made in the USA", or highest quality, all they care about is here and now and lowest price. When they b*tch about cheap quality I ask where was it made? They get sarcasm and no sympathy from me.
