"Made in USA" syndrome. It is no longer just where a product is made, it is also where is the company headquartered and are they using double Irish to avoid paying US taxes. I don't blame the corporations such as Google and Accenture and Microsoft for serving their taxpayers but I am blaming us the American citizen for not understanding the loss of this income to the US government.
Many items are made on US soil but the corporate headquarters where the majority of the jobs are located as now in Europe. The loss of marketing, accounting and administrative jobs is a huge loss to the US.
Celebrate made in US is not about just where a product is made, it is about the support of the US economy - the jobs it provides, the corporate taxes paid.
American citizens need to read this discerning trend but also consider the other ramifications of the company behind the product they are buying.
A purchase, even the tiny purchase such as bubble gum, chocolate, moisture cream can provide economic benefits to the United States.
Cocoa is not "made" in the USA, but the companies who market, distribute MAY be more American than some candy bars that you and I grew up with. The names in the game have not changed but in many cases, the corporate ownership HAS CHANGED.

American Economy and the Global Economy
Never before has it been more important for leaders, corporations, economists and governments to unite and invest in human capital and rebuild The American Economy and the global economy. But creating a new paradigm for prosperity in the face of economic hardship will require perseverance, determination and a collective effort.
We need to gather some of the world’s most prestigious business leaders & economists, to come together to address the most pressing questions facing the global community today: How can we turn intentions into action? How can corporations apply free-market solutions to the world's most dire needs, and can we turn investment ideas into global solutions for the world's problems?
These questions and more to be presented: The Future of The American Economy and The Global Economy.
