After the Olympic committee has been so nasty about use of the Olympic symbols? Get rid of them! It’s bad enough that everything else is made overseas, but the Olympics uniforms?

Why are they only outraged when Olympic outfits are involved? Now we have workers committing suicide by jumping out the widows of Apple computer factories. That's on top of the women and children working like slaves in sweatshops overseas so Americans can buy a T-shirt with some stupid image or text on it for a mere $10. The only people benefiting from this crap, in the long run, are people like Mitt Romney...and he can hide his money hidden offshore to avoid paying U.S. taxes. Our current tax system and the dubious enforcement thereof allow corporate America to get away with murder. Guess who the victims are? You and me.

What a missed opportunity to create and support pride in U.S. manufacturing!  Although I wouldn't want my waning-value tax dollar used by Washington lawmakers to create a 'made in the U.S. Olympic uniform law', surely the concept could be strongly encouraged?! I will use my consumer power to actively boycot both Ralph Lauren and the stores that carry Ralph Lauren products, as a symbol of my unhappiness with the choices made by the U.S. Olympic committee and Ralph Lauren.   As a small business owner, I am disgusted to learn of the outsourcing of the U.S. Olympic uniforms.
