I sure try to support the hard working people of this country. Sometimes the choice is impossible. I do buy locally and support my community and avoid the WalMarts/big box stores. Being an independent business man myself I tend to side with the little guy whenever I can. Price does matter, and if I can keep the little guy going without running myself in the red I will. Cheap is never better.

You couldn't give me an American car.... unless it is a Mustang SVT, Corvette, or Viper. I think that BMW, Mercedes, and most oriental cars are much better. My friend’s mom just bought a Nissan Maxima, for the price it blows anything away that America has to offer! 255 Hp speaks to me, plus the luxury!

Don't get me wrong, I LOVE some of the exotic imports from my youth, and really, really enjoyed my last vacation to Amerstdam, but the domestic is definately world class these days. And it is more of a 'get to buy' than a 'have to buy' item for me, I just think people should act like its legal for Americans to have free choice, live it or loose it sort of deal.
