Should the government require all American flags to be made in the USA?

Question

I know there are bigger issues to worry about, but I say they should all be made in America. That just seems like common sense.

Answer 1

Yes, that does make sense. It would certainity emphasize the patrioticness of an American flag.

But if i picked up a USA flag and wanted to buy it i would not refuse to if it was Made in China.  U never know if there are flag collectors in China (or any country) who dont want to travel all the way to the USA to buy a flag.

God Bless the USA! happy july 4th tomorrow

Answer 2

Interesting point.

While I don't think that merely waving a flag is a patriotic value, I do believe that supporting American-based businesses is.

Answer 3

American Citizens should only buy American made flags.  Consumer demand should drive the market.  We should not need the government to handle our individual patriotic responsibility.

There are some other very serious issues for leaders with integrity.

Answer 4

If it is, you won't be buying it at Wal-mart.

Answer 5

Don’t give the nitwits in Washington another excuse (e.g., steroid use in baseball) to waste time at the nation’s expense. You’re right that there are more important issues; issues that the government already seems determined to avoid dealing with at all costs. As the saying goes (sort of): if they would take care of the big sh*t, then the little sh*t would take care of itself.

Answer 6

Perhaps, if its made in Taiwan could be a lot cheaper but if is made in Mejico will be a much faster  will you agree with me?
