“When you see an import that is better than its American-made equivalent, you buy it.”
You are oversimplifying; how many products on the shelf today even offer a choice between American-made and imported? The American companies that manufactured in the past were long since driven out of business by foreign competition that could employ children, force convicts to produce, shoot anyone who disagreed, etc.
Boy, you have really drank the union/Democrat kool aid, just like so many here.
We are out because the unions & government regs have destroyed our competitive ability, not because of any of those fantasies that you so glibly throw out.
Wake up and work for structural change in the political climate that creates these corrupt unions and business destroying regulations that serve no purpose whatsoever other than to incite class warfare for political gain.
Until then, nothing will change.
