How Americans Can Buy American: The Power of Consumer Patriotism

Rating:
Summary: Love it!!!
Review: Are you shocked when you enter a store and can't find anything at all made in America? Would you honestly like to do something about it? Roger Simmermaker's book not only explains what is going on but offers a practical manual for how we as consumers can positively start to turn this situation around. I wish I could afford to buy a hundred of these books and start passing them around to my friends and coworkers.

Summary: It is up to the consumer to fix the american economy
Review: Roger Simmermaker does a very good job of showing why "consumer patriotism" is so important in improving our economy. He not only presents a well thought out and easy to read discussion, but also lists an enormous variety of products - giving details on which country they are made, and whether or not the company that makes them is a U.S. or foreign owned company. This is important information for all of us to know so that we can make well informed purchases. For example, some of the best automobile tires in the world are made in the U.S. by U.S. owned companies such as Cooper, Goodyear, and Kelly. However, most people don't realize that Michelin, General, BF Goodrich, Bridgestone, Firestone, Dunlop, Pirelli, Toyo and Uniroyal are all made by foreign companies, often in foreign countries. What does this mean? When you buy the american made products you keep american families employed. When you buy foreign made products, you send your money off to some foreign country, adding to our trade deficit, putting americans out of work, and decreasing the amount of tax dollars available to the federal government and the states. Every American who wants a strong U.S. economy and good jobs available for their families and friends needs to read this book before making any more purchases.

Summary: A Must Have Book in your Truck or Car!
Review: Roger Simmermaker gives us all the data we need to buying American owned, American made products that keep the dollar circulating in America! He also explains how our country has changed and the problems that are cropping up in every community when we buy foreign products from foreign companies.

The book is easy to read and a perfect reference when you go shopping. I bought books for both sides of our family and we use them every time we shop. Finally, someone has put together information that gives us the power to make changes in this great country.
