Other than being nice, is there a reason to shop for them? The answer is a very big YES.
Did you know that when you buy imports made of imported raw materials that ultimately about 85% of the $$ spent (except for sales tax) end up in that foreign country with workers in that country employed?
When you buy a product made in the USA with mostly (50%+) US material content about 85% of the $$ you spend stay in the USA and have the benefit of keeping Americans employed.
So when you consciously spend an extra $20/month on a USA made item, you not only get a quality product, but you contribute to increasing employment opportunities, perhaps as many as 3,000,000 in just one year. Imagine what you can do if you consciously spend an extra $100! Buy here http://www.mksworks.com/catalog, at our American Products Store in Cherry Valley, MA or where you prefer.
When you enter a store, ask them where their USA made products are. If they can't show you, take a minute and speak to the manager. Ask the manager to tag the shelves so you can see the American products right away the next time you come in. Even Wal-Mart still carries lots of US made items, they're just very difficult to find.
My Blog
Welcome to my blog. I established my store because I believe in The UNITED States of America, The Constitution and the foundation of it all - We The People. I used to believe that the media, television and radio, was our friend, doing the "watch dog" business as the rest of us went to work to build our families, homes and our country. Today I find the Internet to be the better "watch dog". The best way, as an American, for me to "share the wealth" is to acquire products made in the U.S., hire employees (when I can afford it) for the store, for our manufacturing, for mowing the lawn or whatever needs to be done. I hope you will buy American products, either here or anywhere you shop. When you support your neighbor's job, you support your own. Now for some entertainment (if I link correctly) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mVh75ylAUXY The link is to "Make Mine Freedom" - 1948.
