Where did America Go?
Americans buy 200,000,000 dollars worth of foreign products every year. This money is used to pay children workers... although they are paid 15 to 50 cents an hour in good conditions. On the right are images of working conditions for these children... inside the factory, in the streets, and pollution.
There are a few ways that you can support America by buying American. First, when you shop mount searches of the store for Made in America tagged items. Second, don't stop buying foreign products, just decrease the amount of goods you buy. Last, get involved with organizations, like AAM, so you understand how to buy American yourself and encourage others to as well.
What Can You Do?
An Organization That Is Helping
The Alliance for American Manufacturing says that ''More than 40,000 factories have closed nationwide in the past 10 years.''
Did You Know?
''Only in the Chinas and Indias of the world could our insatiable materialism be satisfied at prices we are willing to pay.'' This statement, from the Niagara Gazette, means that Americans are more willing to pay lower prices even though the products are bought from out of country places.
I beleive that although the price of foreign products are far too low, inexpensive, cheap... Americans should support the hard workers in their country, and keep the money here instead of in a foreigners pocket. Buying American can be a difficult task, it's a bit hard to find just US made products, but it is so important to everyone, even you.
Would You Rather get products from here... in America
Or here, in China
