Craftsman Tools "proudly made in china"

Forget about your "buy american"...

Even if it's "made in U.S." - who guarantees that the company isn't owned to 99% by chinese investors? And that they for a bigger profit lower the quality?

Here in Germany we've the same problem - some of wellknown, traditional german companies are sold to a bunch of international investors, that are only interested in profit. As a result of this the quality get worse, the customers realize it and buy at another manufacturer. The investors sell the - dead - company and can save taxes because they get less than they paid the years before...

And that's worldwide - US companie GM killed Opel, one of Germany best car-manufacturers. Chinese investors killed Braun, Telefunken, Dual - that where great companies for HiFi-equipment. At the end they produced crap for supermarkets....

We want to buy cheaper and kill our own jobs...
