I decided at the first of this month - August 2011 - to purchase only merchandise made in the USA. WOW! It has saved me a LOT of money, but it has also been frustrating as I find products that I have used for years and that I know were originally made in the US - made in China or Malaysia or various other countries. If these companies made their products in the US - think of the jobs that could be created.
My first thought was to post things on Facebook - but FB is not really for that and a friend suggested this blog so here we go.
Personally I would like to pass a new tax law - and I have already sent this to our president and will be sending to my representatives and senators this week.
Tax law by Robin: If a company manufactures their products in the US - they should have minimum tax rates.
If a company manufactures their products anywhere but in the US - and employees anyone but legal Americans - their tax rate should be 75% of gross income. As they move back to the US and start hiring Americans - then their tax rates can go down.
My next post will list the companies I have found to actually still manufacture in the USA - and sometimes it is hard to find the info. And those that do not!
