Jim Beam is owned by a Japanese consortium: Japan's Suntory bought Jim Beam for 16 Billion dollars in 2014 Anheuser-Busch, maker of Budweiser beer is owned by AB InBev, is a Belgian multinational drink and brewing company based in Leuven, Belgium. Smithfield Foods, Inc. is a China-owned pork producer and food-processing company based in Smithfield, Virginia, in the United States, and an independent subsidiary of WH Group. The list goes on… Many products manufactured in the USA use parts or components made in foreign countries. At the end of the day this is what pisses me off, the USA was the manufacturing powerhouse of the entire world and it has been chipped away, sold out, moved overseas and the US worker has been marginalized to increase the profits of the 1%’s. It’s so bad that the US Military are using arms owned by foreign companies. _________________ "Dedication, perseverance, commitment and tenacity are the traits you will find in those who finish and achieve their dreams."

I tend not to like Toyota personally, but the fact that they are not a union house mames me like them more. Good for them! _________________ Looking for: S&W Schofield 2x (.38/357) Coonan 1911 Nemo Omen JM Marlin 39M Tikka T3 Tactical(.308) BAR(.308) |

My Rawlings baseball glove was made in America. I've had it for 27 years and it is still holding up. They certainly don't make them like they used to.
