Right on, Thall.
If you manufacture products here with American machinists, you'll have to pay a little more for those products. I don't mind paying what I paid for the Stihl saws I have.
I've since forgotton what I've paid for them.
When I'm using them, what I paid doesn't even cross my mind.
So, I'm glad I bought Stihl instead of the available "Orange Poulans".

They already have a factory where labor is veryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy costly, been there since 1974, its called the VA BEACH factory located in Virginia. Its only one of what will soon be 8 huge factories around the world. The Va Beach is only covers a mere 77 acres. Oddly RB these same folks boo hooing about oh Stihl will get cheap labor in China are the same ones that boo hoo Stihl's cost so much. I find it odd Husky hasn't built a factory in Virginia, the highest place to operate in the country. Does Husky have a factory in America anywhere? I won't count Shreveport since its a Poulan factory owned by E-lux, not Husky though alot of orange comes out of it. I note as well the Va Beach has created 2000 american jobs done by americans. How many americans work at the Husky plant, any?, anyone know, enlighten us please,wink!!!
