Can't speak for others, but I don't consider such companies to be American. If you have a corporate office in America, but the vast majority of your products are made in a foreign country; your company isn't American. Your products are not made by American workers. American workers don't receive a paycheck from your company. Thus, your company does little or nothing to help the American economy.
Do you have evidence EagleTac's owners and employees in Arizona aren't Americans? Or that they're not receiving paychecks? Are they working pro bono? By your ludicrous reasoning, a firm can be American-owned, located in the USA and employ only Americans yet not be an "American company." Incredible, simply incredible. :duh2:
David Chow's companies (4Sevens and EagleTac-Store.com) are based in Georgia and employ Americans whom I'm confident are being paid for their services. Yet, under your bizarre thinking, 4Sevens, Hewlett-Packard, Levi Strauss & Co., etc. aren't "American companies" even though they're American-owned, located in the USA and employ Americans. What are they? Martian companies?
Not going to go into the moral aspect of a company that engages in such a practice.
Then why did you just inject "moral aspect" into this thread? :thinking: Where did you get the preposterous notion there's anything immoral about a company manufacturing products in a different country? Your peculiar concept of morality didn't stop you from purchasing flashlights made in China. Since your whole "American company" argument is off-topic, I'll pass on citing examples of American corporations who moved their manufacturing operations to other nations primarily because of the egregious behavior of American "workers."
