How Americans can buy American By: Roger Simmermaker "I have come to a resolution myself, as I hope every good citizen will, never again to purchase any article of foreign manufacture which can be had of American make, be the difference of price what it may." -Thomas Jefferson From 9-11 to the current debate about how to protect ourselves from toxic toys, tainted toothpaste and tires, many Americans are looking for ways to display their patriotism beyond flying the American flag. "How Americans Can Buy American: The Power of Consumer Patriotism" shows them how to do it without having to spend extra time or money. Never before has there been such a strong link between patriotism and the pocketbook for so many American consumers. It all comes down to "whose pockets are we lining?" Why not line our own? We must be able to pay for the things that "We, the People" have demanded from our country. Buying American benefits everyone. How?    • Workers in foreign countries don't pay taxes to America.    • American-owned companies pay twice the amount of taxes as foreign-      owned companies do.    • More taxes paid means more benefits reaped. Seventy-five percent      of all federal spending goes to Social Security, Medicare,      defense, education, farm subsidies, highways, parks, and      interest on the national debt. Over 500 pages, this book looks at a multitude of topics including outsourcing, NAFTA, the Federal Reserve, American companies doing the right thing, and the true price of “savings”. Meticulously documented, Simmermaker provides lists of hundreds products along with their country of origin to provide a guide for buying American. From appliances, electronics, clothing, office products, beauty aids, tools, and more, the author makes a convincing case that Americans can indeed still BUY AMERICAN. No patriotic American should be without this book! * Paperback: 508 pages * ISBN: 0980118808
