American Made - The Death of An American City

There is an important video which every American needs to see.  I hate when I shop and I cannot find American made.  I started my company proud to be able to say American but that wasn’t the truth.  The greatest nation the world and I had to have my water shoes made overseas!  When I went to produce my swim float, China was right there.  I knock on door after door.  Met with a lot of reluctance.  Some very kind engineers throughout Northern Illinois met me with and told me it wasn’t possible.  After asking 60 different manufacturers, a wonderful firm in North Carolina not only was able to produce the fitness tool but they also agreed to give me their price to just get the item to market!  We need more of this American partnership in corporate America.  This video shows the results of every little decision. 

My father was an engineer.  My grandchildren will not have that career choice on this soil.  This is sad.

We need to send a message to corporate America, we don’t want large profits and large bonuses, we want America employed, we want to proudly say Made in America.  The important “profits” are seeing our neighbors employed with benefits and with pensions.

Every corporate report in America needs a section detailing their efforts to employ Americans.  When grants are written, when tax abatements are given the criteria utilized is employment.  Corporate America can add this section to their reporting.  Corporate America needs to look at the bottom line with the people in mind.  That is what this video is all about. 

We need accountability.  We deserve to know how many of the parts in a vehicle is actually made here in the United States.  We deserve to have choices on the shelves.  I would pay more for an item that says Made in America.  But we as shoppers must send that message. 

Please share this video.  You don't have to share my thoughts.  Just share the video.  We need our American team back!  We need to pull together and recognize we killed Detroit ourselves.
