====================
 KW> People need to be cognizant of the situation and spend their money wisely.

For several years when I built custom PC's I made an effort to get MADE IN THE
USA parts boards made in the US with parts made in the US... It grew
increasingly difficult to do so. Finally it was IMPOSSIBLE.

Today, unless you build it from the sand up yourself. Forget it.

Now take that to various things outside of food, its nearly impossible to get
clothes made in the US, 100% made in the US of fabrics made from cotton grown
in the US.

 KW> People should think about spending more for quality goods and services
 KW> and companies that foster their employees' growth and well being instead
of
 KW> focusing on the best deal that may not be the best in the long run for
 KW> you or
 KW> the guy next door. For every company that treats their employees well,
 KW> there's
 KW> another exploiting them and passing some of those savings on to the
 KW> customer in
 KW> an attempt to gain market share.

And just how are we going to do that???? Very little is made in the US due to
LABOR COSTS.... when you can make something in MX for $3/week v. $15+/HOUR
guess what? Thats why if you raise the wages then you need to kill NAFTA etc..

I have put down things and walked away when I seen it "Made in
Cambodia|Vietnam" Ummmm those are embargo'd countries how did this stuff make
it into the US!???!?? And I am talking MAJOR RETAILER!

And for every company putting PR and puff on their web sites how do we know its
true????

There is a certain apparel company in kooklyforinia that wants rant that it
pays well, is not a sweatshop, US materials etc... Well lets see it got busted
for using ILLEGAL WORKERS for one thing... So what else is probably wrong with
this company and its assertions???
