Made in China?

Went to local dealer to get an oil filter. Figured I'd pick up a new shirt while i was there since I've grown and need something bigger. . Everything i could find was MADE IN CHINA and just felt thin and cheap. I refuse to buy anything that's made in China at that price. Why doesn't Harley bring their tee shirt business back to America? They would probably make less profit for each shirt but they would sell a lot more. I cant be the only one boycotting china made crap

They don`t care about what it does to jobs here in the US, only lining their pockets and the bottom line....

Groan, not this BS again. Either get off your asses and set up a T-Shirt business and compete. Or shut up.

Its almost impossible to avoid cheap Chinese crap for anything, ie. Amazon, Walmart, Tractor Supply, Harbor Freight etc. and many, many more..
They got us by the *****...we can thank Corporate ********, OURSELVES, Dems and Repub lawmakers both for this over many, many years. We need to mfg American and be willing to pay more for it. PERIOD...
