Probably not. England and Italy are sooo three centuries ago.

I think Americans still remember US owned and based companys like
RCA and Schwinn that have been sold over seas and it's just a pisser that you have such hard time buying anything that is not made over seas.

Well... if you want to get to the root of it all... it was capitalism that moved well paying jobs from the U.S. to Mexico... then, India and China. Business is in the business of making money... not happiness for its employees. U.S. workers can compete in the global free market... for jobs at the wages that people in India and China are willing to accept.
It's market forces that moved the jobs.

I agree, I'm just saying that people may feel that way especially with the down job market.

I see where you are coming from... but, it is hard to get pissed off when we were the ones doing it to ourselves and knew what we were heading towards... but, were blinded by, "Always The Lowest Price, Always." In other words, we knew that those bargains we were getting at Wal-Mart came with a hidden cost... the cost of U.S. jobs to cheap labor overseas.
...
We should have paid closer attention to what those protestors in Seattle were saying back in 1999... although, they were kind of being assholes by rioting and shit. But, the message they were carrying was true... they just really sucked at relaying it.
