Got a good deal on a lcd tv.

[AKIron]

I'd like to buy American but two of the last three American cars I bought, an Olds and a Ford, were crap. My last vehicle purchase was a motorcyle and while I toyed with getting a Harley, Honda was a better value.

I love my 46" Samsung.

When I fianally get a new tv, it'll be Olevia.

My dear old dad has said it many times

"A fool and his money are soon to part"

My question is: "How did they manage to get together in the first place?"

Just for informations sake Honda is Japanese.  It is not made here.  Unless that sentence is meant in another way. Not trying to be mean.
My reading skills are terrible.

honda, toyota, subaru, i think nissan all build cars in the USA. honda motorcylces are built here.
fords(i have a taurus, and a fiarmont futura) built in canada and mexico..although i think one or two models still built here. not sure about gm.
 almost ALL of the electronics for any vehicle on the road is imported. including motorcylces..like harleys, although their owners proudly proclaim that their bikes are 100% american. well, guess what? my shadow is just as american as your harley. and it ALWAYS starts and NEVER breaks down.

my point is, that i just like you prefer to support americans. no matter WHAT we buy, no matter WHERE it was built, if we buy it here in the USA, we ARE supporting americans. if it was one of the japanese cars built overseas and shipped here, the we're supporting the dockworkers, truck drivers, and the dealerships, which are probablyt owned by americans.  same for the tv. even if you buy the american brand, are the electronice made here?

i'm tired, and need to sleep now.......

This thread is about an entirely optional purchase...  isn't it?  I mean we may want one, but we really don't need it I mean really.

We could all save a grand by watching American Idol on the old CRT TV now couldn't we?

funny you say that. i'm still watching the old 19" magnavox tv i bought almost 20 years ago. i won't buy a new one till this one dies.

Honda and Toyota and BMW (in SC i think) have American assy lines.

Scab labor rates and the bulk of the profit going out of this country take them out of the American company category.

I'll second the vote for Olevia screens though, I use a 26" unit with surround sound to game on.

I like plasma tv better.  The 50" is getting cheaper.
