I understand the call for people to buy American products. I understand it'll create jobs or keep money in the American economy. But I don't understand our want to deprive very poor countries of money for products they work just as hard to make. I don't understand why our people are more needy than their people. I know we're American and these American workers need jobs and our spending creates those jobs. In order to support American workers we also have to stop buying from foreign countries, abandoning the workers living in poverty far beyond what some of our poorest Americans will ever experience. I don't know why Americans are more deserving of this money that circulates around the World when we have a government that pumps out money it doesn't have to help support them while families in the rest of the World survive on thirty cents a day. I know some of our fellow country folks are living lives tougher than I can fathom, but I also know that there are people in this World that rely on Americans buying things that they make to scrape together the absolute bare-minimum needed to live.

I like the idea of buying American a lot, buy I like the idea of buying from a hard-working human even more.
