At the minimum though, I'd prefer this Rollmaster over the Cloyes, because I could more easily set the camshaft to the intake centerline suggested by the camshaft manufacturer.

Rollmaster is made in Australia, Australia is in western civilization, so there's no conflict in interest buying Australian made, because Australian wages don't put pressure on American wages. Australians make the same wages as Americans,in other words.

They take and copy other manufacturers products and sell them as their own.

People are clueless how this chinese manufacturing works.

Here's how it works.

Any company can go factory less, all they need is a blueprint of what they want manufactured or a product to hand a chinese manufacturing factory, to copy.

So if you're an American company, you shutdown your factory, layoff all your American or Australian employees and buy a plane ticket to china. China has the factory and labor to produce any product.

China can produce it in their factory using their labor, and you can bring it into the states with no penalty (tariff), 99% profit margins while not employing a single American other than yourself, and a salesman. No electric bill to pay, no factory or employee pensions to pay.

Ask your *trusted elected officials* how they wrote the laws that allowed that without being tried for treason, next time you get a chance.

Hell even GM and Harley Davidson have gone factory-less.

It's all fun and games until the US can't print money out of thin air anymore, replacing wages with expanded credit.

While you are right to a certain extent there is more to it.
Our Tax system penalizes the American working class. More you work more taxes you pay. That is great if we were only buying Made in America stuff. But when we buy things made some where else then they are not paying ANY income taxes and basically all they are paying is an inspection fee that is not much. Plus millions of Illegal Aliens, Topless dancers, prostitutes, drug dealers are not paying any Federal Income taxes.

If we are going to operate in a "Global Economy" then we need to be taxed at point of sale. Then it does not matter where it is made it would support our Government. Problem is we already can not afford our Government and if we changed our Tax System now they would just screw us harder.

"Dunning-Kruger Effect"
-a type of Cognitive bias where people with little expertise or ability assume they have superior expertise or ability. This overestimation occurs as a result of the fact that they do not have enough knowledge to know they don't have enough knowledge.

Before you argue with someone ask yourself, "Is this person mentally mature enough to grasp the concept of a different perspective?" If not there is no point to argue.

You don't have to change the tax system to put tariffs on third world civilization inputs, like for example everything chinese sold at Walmart.

Anything made in western civilization countries wouldn't require tariffs, because those countries wages don't put pressure on American wages.
