    Default Arizona Sports Shirts- Made in China?

    So, tell us, Arizona Sports Shirts. You guys sell to grass roots Americans in a grass roots American sport, who are obviously all Patriots and proud to be American.

    So, can you assure everyone who buys your products that every material, every plastic, every part and parcel in your process are all Made in America, including all the materials in your supply chain?

    We all would really like to know when we buy a product from your company with our favorite AMERICAN racer's name on it that all the materials that went into it were purchased from American companies and manufactured in America.

    Seems a small thing to ask from a company that makes all of its money selling to grass roots, conservative loving Americans.

    God -Almighty , look around your own glass castles for foreign made stuff before casting your stones.

    A good start would be reading the fine print on the computer parts of the unit you are using.

    The bottom line is there are manufacturers of American made materials, inks, dyes, machinery etc to make t-shirts. American made products that may cost a few cents more, because in America we don't abuse our people, we don't exploit our workers, we don't pay poverty wages because this is America where we treat people with respect and believe that prosperity should be the reward for working and making your own way and taking responsibility....

    Oh wait. That was what America USED to be. What was I thinking....

    Now it's every man for himself, and one dollar equals one vote. Yes, we are certainly headed in the right direction in this nation. No doubt about it. Soon we can all be Princes or peasants, with nothing in between.

    No, someone is just bringing up an inconvenient truth about your hypocrisy. Of course you are going to get confused, and angry about it. People always get angry when their thoughts, words and deeds betray them.

    In order for it to be said that you truly hold a principle, all three must reflect the same stance on the principle. You must think, speak and act in a way that reflects your belief.

    So, you think you love America and support the idea that jobs should be kept here, not shipped overseas.

    You say you love America and say we should stop shipping American jobs overseas.

    However, when you spend your money buying things, you BUY stuff made overseas by foreign workers.

    Not hard to figure out where you really stand. The truth is you lover America, you love American made goods, but you love your money more, and if it comes down to a choice of buying American and doing some homework to identify American Made goods and paying a little extra, you'll throw your fellow man under the bus in a heartbeat and buy into the entire system of exploitation of cheap foreign labor to save you a nickel.

    I really don't care, Clayton, where you spend your money or what you do. I am just pointing out something you should be aware of. You, and everyone like you, support foreign labor. You support corporate America shipping jobs overseas.

    Ultimately where you spend your money reflects your values and what you really believe.

    It is a business decision made by the company whether they purchase or use products from another country. The consumer can then make the decision as to buy that product or not based on whether that product is made in the USA or not? If you dont like it, you dont have to buy their product, that is the risk they take knowing that maybe some people will not buy their product because of that. However, they also need to be competative in their market and a few cents here, and a few cents there become dollars, which could at the end of the day make it unfeasible to stay in business.

    Now since they are not competative they close the doors. Now you dont have a business that even exists in the USA, which then the government doesnt collect taxes from. Now the AMERICANS that sold the product dont have a job, the assemblers dont have a job, the folks that maintain the equipment dont have a job, the people that maintain the building dont have a job, the business that landscapes the property loses a client, the business that ships the product loses a customer, the web hosting business loses a client, the gas station that everyone stopped at in the morning to get their coffee or soda lost some business, so on an so forth.. which in turn all of those people pay taxes to the government as well.. which the government will get none of because they are out of work, and now are collecting from the government..

    It's easy to say buy USA, but that company needs to be competative and buying factory made products in the US may make them uncompetative (unfortunately). Maybe they could have purchased all the components from the American businesses (lets say blank t-shirts for instance which I assume are made in a factory, a factory that is over regulated (EPA, etc...) overtaxed, and swamped with paperwork and cannot be competative with an overseas factory that does not have to deal with the regulation), but they cant because those businesses cannot be competative for them to purchase from.

    Maybe start there by not making it so difficult to have a factory in the US, and then make it possible to be competative with american made products... which at the end of the day is a good thing.

    If you're typing this nonsense on a foreign made computer you wasted your time and ours bitching!

    Bet you're going to tell us how it is made in the USA no doubt, whether it is or not.

    Tnie, people can't just buy USA made products only. There isn't enough time in a day to stick by such a rediculous plan. You know it would be too much of a hassle to be so diletary in ones affiars.
    You may not realize it but even produce in the grocery store is often imported. If you don't read the entire label a bottle of apple juice may have come from China. And parts that are installed in most appliances may have foreign made parts even if the label says USA.

    But let's get to the point of your rant and quit deflecting. You are throwing a pouting session because you have a persecution complex and that the members and owners of 4M are all purposely working against you and your far radical beliefs. Just accept that you may need to challenge the man in the mirror instead.
