Today I was in a major regional mall where Macy's has a Holiday store outside of their dept store. I walk in looking for a nice ornament to purchase & notice that on EVERY ornament in the store is a tag hanging that reads "MADE IN CHINA". I mention to this lady standing next to me "Isn't it amazing that everything in this store is made in China!"....She responds "I just accept it now"...Well you know what? I don't accept it. My wife & I are making a big effort to look at tags on merchandise and pass on the item if it is MADE IN CHINA. When Ross Perot was running for President many years ago he was laughed at when he made a big deal about all of jobs heading to China- Mexico- South America etc. I clearly recall Gore sitting there with Larry King and Perot horse laughing at his predictions of America being a consumption country and making squat. Now that I'm making a strong effort in searching out "Made in the USA" labels on goods, it is not an easy exercise! What is made here anymore?
I'm going to create a new web site letting the world know where to find everything from Socks to toys that are MADE IN THE USA. As the famous saying goes from the motion picture network..."I'M MAD AS HELL & WON'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!!!!
(as soon as my "Made in America" site is up you will be the first to know!)
