While I don't applaud Ole Sam, he was about taking care of his customer base and buying American products and selling American products made by American workers and companies. The company he built is now one of the most prolific importers from China and they were one of the largest lobbyists along with Home Depot and several defense contractors to get legislation passed in 2004 that made it highly profitable to ship American jobs off shore. His daughter is a huge, in the terms of millions of dollars yearly, political player, using both parties at her beck and call. she plays both sides against the middle to her profit and gain. Truly a "Robber Baroness" of the 21st century. It's all public record, check it out.
