you guys wana go on about this American pride and such and yet I'll be a large number of you shop at Walmart, and buy Chinese made garbage all the time (I try my best to avoid it when possible)... At least the EU employes people at 1st world wages and is a fair trade partner with the US... What's China buying from us that they're not busy working on how to copy and sell on their own? And how much do Chinese workers get paid when they make the stuff that we used to buy from our own factories?
