A very long time ago, in another life, I was a foreman in a ladies shoe factory. The people inserted insoles in the shoes that said "Made in Italy". The insoles were in fact made in Italy so the company could do this. The shoes were made in PA. So much for truth in advertising! :-?
Sounds like the Wal-Mart "Made In America" logos going into their clothes made in Taiwan, etc.

That policy died with Sam. Just like the buy from local producers/small business policy.
I agree with both sides here. I do have a right to buy from anyone/where I choose but I also have the right to the true origin/content of a product so that I can make an informed decision.
I even know some people that still do the old "don't buy Japanese cars, you'll put an American out of work" line. Fact is, the Pacific Rim auto companies employ more Americans than most American auto makers.
