The profits from US companies flow back to the US. It's an issue only to those of us who are US Citizens.
Most companies are publicly traded, foreign stock holders get profits just as American stock holders do, you buy into a European gun companies stock and you will get the profits.
The workers at DW are making an American designed gun, using American tools, the workers are Americans. The OP was asking about those things I think.
Top to bottom? Are you kidding me? You can't live in a bubble, I buy tools for my shop, 60% of them are from outside the US, I buy materials, steels, nonferrous metals, most of it is not from America.
DW started in America, the only outside influence has been economic, foreign investors. I think most people would be surprised at how much American industry is foreign financed. The fact is that China now owns more of America than Americans do, we've sold out for cheap goods, we've allowed ourselves to be deceived by appearances, it looks like a $4000 Rolex, but it aint.
I'm not one of the buy America first crowd, I believe in buying the best quality for the price, and where it's made is secondary. In a perfect world quality and price would rule. We live in a land that is run by government interference, and that's why we cannot compete.
It's almost impossible to put up with all the rules government puts in the way of American companies, believe me, I deal with it every day. If my company had to deal with a union I'd have to fold.
If you people want America to rise to what she once was refuse to buy union made goods, vote anything but Democrat, and refuse to buy high priced products with cheap parts like MIM and plastics in them. DW is a leader in quality and price for that quality. There isn't a better 1911 for the money.
That's American free market excellence.
