Why is everybody focusing on buying? Why are the buying decisions so important when for the last 50 years production has been outsourced overseas? Surely back then people were still buying a lot of American made goods, nobody could touch the big 3 in car sells and we made products ranging from everyday goods, to high end electronics to rocket ships, yet the outsourcing was starting to become the next business model.
It is only now that we can start seeing the effects of this model, but it was in the works for a long time.
So how come, all of the sudden, it's people's fault for not buying American? Outsourcing started when people were buying American made good.
All the companies that outsourced the jobs from US and Canada have been enjoying nicer bigger profits, while the consumers have to pay the same for the product.
If we don't start making stuff here, no buying will ever help us. After all the income to continuously buy stuff has to come from somewhere.
The truth is that we need laws that will make production in US and Canada profitable again for every day goods, not just cars, and high end products. Increase the tax for companies enjoying cheap oversea labor costs, introduce tariffs and import taxes. Basically do what every other developed country does to protect their market and workforce.
Blaming people for their buying decisions will do nothing, let people buy what they want, but make sure that production is profitable here and "punish" outsourcing for cheap labor by extra taxes.
