Made in Chins or USA???

Check the Can

I WAS BUYING FOOD THE OTHER DAY AT WALMART.
ON THE LABEL OF SOME PRODUCTS IT SAID 'FROM CHINA'.

FOR EXAMPLE THE "OUR FAMILY" BRAND OF THE MANDARIN ORANGES SAYS RIGHT ON THE CAN 'FROM CHINA'.

I WAS SHOCKED!! SO FOR A FEW MORE CENTS I BOUGHT THE LIBERTY GOLD BRAND OR THE DOLE SINCE IT'S FROM CALIF.


TAKES FOREVER JUST TO BUY FOOD AND DO LABEL READING ! !

Are we Americans as dumb as we appear --- or --- is it that we just do not think? While the Chinese, knowingly and intentionally, export inferior and even toxic products and dangerous toys and goods to be sold in American markets.

Yet 70% of Americans believe that the trading privileges afforded to the Chinese should be suspended.

Well, duh..why do you need the government to suspend trading privileges?

SIMPLY DO IT YOURSELF, AMERICA!!

Simply look on the bottom of every product you buy, and if it says 'Made in China ' or 'PRC' (and that now includes Hong Kong), simply choose another product, or none at all. You will be amazed at how dependent you are on Chinese products, and you will be equally amazed at what you can do without.

Who needs plastic eggs to celebrate Easter? If you must have eggs, use real ones and benefit some American farmer. Easter is just an example, the point is do not wait for the government to act. Just go ahead and assume control on your own.

THINK ABOUT THIS: If 200 million Americans refuse to buy just $20 each of Chinese goods, that's a billion dollar trade imbalance resolved in our favor...fast!!

The downside? Some American businesses will feel a temporary pinch from having foreign stockpiles of inventory. Wahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!

The solution? Let's give them fair warning and send our own message. Most of the people who have been reading about this matter are planning on implementing this on March. 4th and continue it until April. 4th That is only one month of trading losses, but it will hit the Chinese for 1/12th of the total, or 8%, of their American exports. Then they will at least have to ask themselves if the benefits of their arrogance and lawlessness were worth it.

Remember, March. 4th to April. 4th

START NOW.

Send this to everybody you know. Let's show them that we are Americans and NOBODY can take us for granted.

If we can't live without cheap Chinese goods for one month out of our lives, WE DESERVE WHAT WE GET!

Pass it on, America.

We are now importing an inferior IGR (fly control for cattle).
To buy American, make sure it is ALTOSID, not something from
another country. Who knows what else is in it.

I never replied to the muck boot thread but you made me go and look at my Baffin boots which have served me well over the years. Made in Canada.

I had a pair of Kamik's supposedly made in Canada and I have never had a pair of boots with such a slippery sole. I could hardly stand up in those boots. :?

You sure it's the boots fault? :wink:

Okay, some brands are worse than others. The rubber seems to be too hard. Especially when they get a bit of wear on them. Baffins are pretty good, I've found too.

At least there is information on the label for us to make informed decisions on what we want to support. Live in British Columbia, the salmon fishing capital of the world and try to find a can of Canadian salmon or a dill pickle for that matter that even comes from this continent. Who really is paying for this? If we started supporting our own local markets as we wished they would come to support ours instead of us crying poverty and then shopping at discount box stores we might start rebuilding the types of communities with wholesome values our parents were raised in. Just the fact that some of us are talking about this gives one hope that we will slowly turn this around.
