How about an "All U.S. Flags Made In America" amendment?
That way, if we want to burn or desecrate our flag, at least the money goes to us Americans.

3. Hell yeah! This should be a no-brainer. Cheap labor repukenazis
won't go for it though so such a bill would never pass. they want all of america's jobs to go to third world countries in exchange for cheap goods from those countries.

If flags are currently made in countries with slave wages, a law like that would just make businesses go to someplace like the Mariana Islands, where they can have slave wages in a U.S. territory.

7. I was just getting ready to post the same thing...
about the Northern Mariana Islands.

I only recently learned about this, so others may not have heard of it either.

A link for those who are interested.
