Who agrees with the notion that common people's lot will be bettered only when the mutli national american corporations brings all the jobs that they outsourced and offshored, bring those jobs back to the american soil.

Is America just a captive market where american companies can just sell products they make outside. Where do americans make the money to buy this stuff then. So the american bank gives us credit to buy these things.

Would you rather not buy these things with the money you make by working on a job. But how do you work when your job has been sent else where

So my question to you all is one of our solution to start a "Be American, buy American" movement Thanks

We can all do our part to purchase good manufactured in America, especially when we shop online. However, very few online retailers provide easy to find information about where products are manufactured. That's why I just signed the petition "Clearly label Made in America products on Amazon.com."

You can help to force online retailers like Amazon.com to clearly label where products are made so that consumers can make informed decisions. If you support this idea, you can read more and sign the petition on Change.org here:
