Well, I don't think it is as simplistic as that. Most companies are public companies. They have responsibilities to their shareholders. If you have a 401k, you could be a shareholder. You could say we are all screwing each other out of jobs.
I originally posted this as it made me sad. As a kid growing up in Ireland, Levi's along with Coke, Harley's, Mustangs etc. WERE America. Simplistic and childish I know but hey ! I was a child. The fact that Levi's are now totally mfg'ed outside of the US is something that erodes that image of America in my mind.
Bless our servicemen & women overseas.
