Default Willcox Offensive EBAY Listing

I'm a proud American but found this Willcox EBAY listing offensive. Very surprised...

People get wayyyy to up in arms about this crap. I have seen many many "made in usa" parts that wouldnt even be good scrap metal. This is a global economy now guys. Live with it or get left behind. On the other side though, I didnt see anything offensive about the ad. Just some good advertising trying to get people who will only buy stuff that they think is made in america. (ps made in america sometimes means canada or mexico too)

I see nothing wrong there either, in fact i'm glad they make a point of letting you know the part is made in the USA
I have bought, and will continue to buy from them, lets keep the $ in the USA.
