When are Americans going to wake up and save thier country?

Question

We complain about government official and policy, but don't vote. We complain about lack of jobs, bad jobs, and bad pay, but don't buy American products. Do a little research, vote against anyone who supports any Free Trade. Vote against anyone doing business oversees. Stop shopping at Wal-Mart. If the majority of America stopped Wal-Marting for one year and only bought US made goods, they would be FORCED to buy American, thus creating more American Jobs, higher wages, and a stronger dollar.

Answer 1

Hey Mr isolationist...

I don't think so.

Answer 2

We have in the US more resources for commerce above ground than any other country.  We should not be stuipd and sell for 14 cents a pound when we can get $1.14 a pound.  The resources at hand are enough to build space craft, planes and trains.

Answer 3

I hope soon, what you suggest is a start. Research  the 'Fairtax'... support of this one idea could help change a lot of the reasons things are bad.

Answer 4

I can't afford to buy American.  The problem is, I'm self employed, and therefore not in a union.  The American made stuff is made by union workers, and the companies have to overcharge for their merchandise because of their overly high labor rates.  The unions then take the money and pump it into keeping liberal politicians in office, thus keeping their out of touch unions in power, and their American made products over priced and under qualtied.

Best of Luck in your crusade.  Please excuse me, I need to jump in my Honda and run to WalMart real quick.

Answer 5

My wife and I haven't been to wal-mart in about 15 years. That was because early on we figured out the stuff they sold was c**p.  It just seemed anything we bought, like a microwave would only last about a year.

Anyway, the days of "buying American" are gone, we need to look at more of a sustainable movement and purchase quality goods that are durable and can be repaired easily. Also support your local community and businesses (not the big box stores).

But the sad thing is as fuel prices keep rising more people keep running to wal-mart to help themselves, only perpetuating the problem.

Answer 6

Its because we are are becoming a bunch of cry-baby whiners!!  We have become victims of the nanny state of politics we are told what we can and cant do on a daily basis!!  And still some want and wish for more government controls and regulations and bureaucracy.   What is wrong with people!!  More government intrusion in our daily lives is not good!! Its strangling us!!

Answer 7

There could also be the possibility of setting up a system by which food in stores would be something to supply through taxes so citizens would not require money at the checkout.

The next step could be to combine Green Power which has already been done to a degree with ownership of the entire planet by all citizens. This could settle the complaints about foreign policy . Walmart is known to be an American store of course. The idea of a right for citizens to own the planet together among the usual rights in The Bill Of Rights, the right to protect the resources both mineral and food from exploitation even from armed attack like a war could also resolve any concern about expansion of Wal Mart.This could make the world money supply a strong one. There would be less risk also of an excessive use of money not there another Stock Markett Crash or a Depression with sound monetary policies.

Answer 8

This is a global economy. Buying only american products would not help. Free trade that is fair for everyone is good for americans.

Answer 9

have you hugged any trees today?

Answer 10

Do you vote?

International commerce is the best thing for this country.  Let's outsource all our jobs to countries that formally support slavery instead enslaving our own people. Then American's can go back to doing what they are truly good at.  Being entrepreneurs.

Stop shopping at Walmart, but not because they buy overseas but because they are supporters of American communism and a monopoly.  We need more small business not a few giant ones.  Does your Walmart employee care about you?  I can never find help at Walmart, and if I do they are mad at me for bothering them.  There are three checkers and a hundred people trying to buy their merchandise.

Now go to your local pharmacist, they'll be ecstatic to get you your pills.  Go to your local department store same thing.  Yes higher prices but do you think the better quality and service is worth it.  I do!

Quit trying to force all the Americans into slavery/employment.  Let's wake up and figure out how to make the US prosper as partners or individuals.  This will increase the work ethic and the dollar.

Answer 11

If we had the fair tax instead of high corporate and income taxes, the dollar would be strong, prices will fall, and jobs will come here at unprecedented rates, and we need to rid ourselves of the nanny state that the dems just want to make bigger.
