that's cause the hat only cost them $2 to get made...if it was american made it would cost $30 plus $14.95 each for shipping and handling.

I can't understand why American children won't do them for 50c a day. Lazy, spoiled bustards, that's what they are! There'd be no premature pregnancies or teenage drug/alcohol problems if the American children worked as hard for as little as their Chinese siblings. They wouldn't have neither the time, pep nor money for such nonsense...

blame the unions...and corporate greed...

and those pesky child labor laws

[gyrene81]

nah, just the $30/hour wages union workers get for pushing buttons on machines...

and those pesky child labor laws

I guess that's one of the perks of owning your own business.  I started cleaning my dad's machine shop when I was 11 years old for $10 a week

I did what m parents asked or my arse got whooped

Getting rid of the unions would only cause more outsourcing.

As for corporate greed that's what happens if business is deregulated totally.

In Australia its getting worse.

The NRA is a joke. I am the 2nd amendment.

  Would you not buy a Benelli Shotgun because it is not made in the USA? Many fine and inexpensive guns are made around the world. The NRA is an organization dedicated to protect the rights of US Citizens to keep and bear arms. It does not promote only US made items.

   Go around you house now and throw out all the Items not totally made in the USA including perhaps your car and electronics.

  The Time and Money the NRA has spent in court fighting unconstitutional laws is no joke.

name one gun made in china that you would want to fire more than once... 

the idea is that the nra is an american organization of and for american citizens lobbying for american rights...to send members who pay an annual fee in american dollars anything made anywhere but america, kinda shows a lack of american patriotic ideals. nobody in italy, china, japan, or anywhere else has a stake in our constitution, unless they want to become citizens.

   So the NRA can not purchase items from China but many US citizens own or buy Chinese made items every day. If you have no foreign items in your possession then you may stand on that principle if you wish. How many have China made smart phones in thier pocket?

come on Slate, is it really that difficult of a concept to grasp? we buy chinese made goods either by choice or because there is no better alternative. an organization representing american rights should be "representing america", even with their free gifts, which in this case could easily have been purchased from an american manufacturer.

it's bad enough we're getting bought out by japan and china as it is...you ever wonder how long it's going to take before we are forced to learn their language in order to get a job at any of their u.s. operations?
