Goinghuntin Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 While I was at work tonight I happened to pick up a case of small American flags. Guess what it said in big bold letters on the side of the box...MADE IN CHINA :angry:. We can't even make our own flags for cryin' out loud?! We have to ship our orders overseas so that our flags can be made cheaper??? :nono: Nathan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suro25 Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 and people wonder why there is a sad job market in the US. All the jobs are being sent over seas for cheap labor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texastrophies Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 It is our own fault. How many people will pass over the cheap item and pay 3 or 4 times the price for the same item made in the good ol US of A? Not many, that is right. So, as long as we demand to continue to buy the cheap items, you will continue to see that line printed on the side of the box. Before long that will be our only option, and then it will be to late, if it is not already there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hunt or be Hunted Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 Whenever I read the name of this I thought to myself "Oh boy" How that makes me sick! We can't even pay for our own flags to be made in our country?! Wow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goinghuntin Posted June 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 How many people will pass over the cheap item and pay 3 or 4 times the price for the same item made in the good ol US of A? I pay extra for something made over here. Tools, hunting gear, clothes, etc. I'll pay more if it's made in America. Or Canada too I guess :clown: Nathan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkneck Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 Dont worry, if you'll read my rant, I believe we'll all be sewing our own flags and the Chinese ones pretty soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerClay Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 After reading about the McDonalds Shrek glass fiasco I thought maybe Micky Dee's might rethink where they buy their happy meal toys. Then I woke up and said, "Yeah......riiiight" China owns us. get used to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you you say NFTA??? :angry: I don't care what anybody says about this! I am a printer, I seen how many jobs went over to china. But I am starting to see that china's printers are doing a very bad job, and some of the work is coming back to the USA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
