Wal-Mart is probably the largest purchaser of outsourced products in the world. How much of the stuff in Wal-Mart do you think is made in America? How much is China?

Wal-Mart, which in the late 1980s and early 1990s trumpeted its claim to "Buy American," has doubled its imports from China in the past five years alone, buying some $12 billion in merchandise in 2002. That's nearly 10% of all Chinese exports to the United States.

You did not come up with the idea, you simply posted it from someone eles' argument, Gator and I assumed you were in agreement and backing it up. This argument is flawwed. All of what happened with the influx of Chinese goods happened after the old man was not there to stop it. Even if it meant they would not make as much Sam probably would not have ok'd it.

Yeah I have some Japanese to argue with about a product line ;) Thanks man, If I see you at a convention I will buy you a beer!
