The 'nationality' of a coporoation is no reason to support it, in the first place.
It doesn't matter where a corporation is incorporated, or where it has some of it's operations, either - the stockholders could still be foreign - or American. For instance, if you want to 'support' an American company & American workers, you might buy a Ford instead of a Toyota. But, surpise, the Toyota was assebled in California, while the Ford was assembled in Mexico.
Any corporation of reasonable size is global, or it's doomed. Fact of economics in the 21st century. Nothing you can do about it.

The bottom line is products made outside the US can be sold to us much cheaper. The average American will not research the manufacturers of various products to find out whether it was made in Birmingham or Beijing. For this reason, the vast majority will not search out and then pay substantially more for products made here. If it is uneconomical not to patronize corporations that have moved outside the US then all the rational and patriotism in the world will make no difference.

Well the fact is companies have no allegiance to any 1 country , the world is the market . Buy or not , there going to make money . Besides there no law that states companies can't leave America .

We really shouldn't but how many corporations still exist in America? Sure, many have branches here but the bulk of their business is elsewhere, along with the money.

Great point . I try to buy American whenever I can.
This country is heading towards major trouble if we can't build things here .

Because we feel that we're entitled to all the things we want in life without having to pay people well enough to make them here.

Valid point. No one asked me if I wanted a global economy.
