It drives me crazy that so many companies are shutting down their US operations and moving jobs once done here to China, India, Mexico or some other country. It's UN-American and UN-Patriotic. There is no reason to move abroad. For the greater good keep US citizens working here at home.

Look at the Falcon line of stilettos that Smokey Mountain knifeworks sells. They were the Italian company that made all the old Kissing Krane stilettos for them. They were never really made in Germany no matter what the blade says. The Falcons have a better looking Bayo blade. The wood handled KK's had the clip blades.

No Italian-style stilettos (manual or aouto) have ever been made in Germany. This is fact.

There are a few Solingen makers left.

I don't know about patriotism, but it certainly is a boot to the face of the American worker!
Complaints about outsourcing have turned into complaints about a failing economy (with political parties and individuals to scapegoat)... doesn't one preclude the other? I remember when Fruit of the Loom closed it's plants here in KY. some of us haven't forgotten the biggest cause for unemployment! -the willingness to lay-off American workers. . .to receive American tax credits -to close down plants in America -to reopen the same operation in some other country where they are allowed to exploit workers without legal recourse. all the while vacant plants become eye-sores and stock-holders reap the profits... this is a beautiful scheme for the share-holders, but a travesty to the American unemployed and taxpayer!
This is where capitalism has it's splinters! We criticize socialism as an ideal (as we should) becuase of it's lack of support for the individual. And yet we allow crap like this to go on, and monetarily reward those who rape all probability of individual-self-betterment.
It's a damn shame! No individual republi-crat or demo-can is to blame for this... it is simply the progression of anti-worker/pro-share-holder economics, which finds support on both sides of the disgraceful game of basketball politics.
I'm pretty sure, my Grandfathers, Uncles, step-dad, brother, and cousins [didn't risk/aren't risking] their lives and limbs to secure the blessings of liberty for labor-piracy.
It's a damn shame!
