Let's get some jobs. Home-grown American jobs. Maybe making American products. Keeping our money and jobs here in America instead of shipping them overseas. That seems like a no-brainer, right?
There are households today that refuse to buy products made in China. Maybe the presence of lead paint in toys scares them off (it should!). Maybe they think products made in China are the result of sweat shops (many are). Maybe they've experienced that products made in China are inferior in quality (many are). Maybe they think the balance of trade is unfair to Americans (it is).
On the other hand, some households always look for the best bargains, regardless of where they were made. They can buy more with less money. In this recession, where unemployment and job security have affected people so dramatically, families are cutting back on their expenses.
Which side do you take? Do you feel multinational corporations are pro-American or pro-profit?
