Don't buy multinational Christmas presents!

[Pontus]

If you really oppose working Americans losing their jobs, and corporations snuggling up with oppressive governments like China, then this Christmas why not make an effort to buy American-made presents -- preferably made by small businesses? This can be a good grassroots effort and takes a jab at the globalists/multinational corporation agenda.

1. Excellent idea

I know that my local auto parts store is stocking ice scrapers made in Miami OK, and I bought two, and made a big deal of it at the checkout. The clerk agreed with me that we should buy more things made in America, and I'm hoping some of the other patrons heard and will at least consider doing the same thing.

7. I bought a couple of them

They look even better than they do in the picture. Very similar to Wrangler but union made in the USA, and you can't beat the $27.99 price.

6. Would make it easier for me.

"This Xmas, I decided to Shop American First, and not send my money to China. That's why you're not getting any gifts, and I'm standing here barefoot wearing nothing but an old towel that was made in North Carolina before the textile industry here went tits-up..."

Nice sentiment, not practical here.
