Are there any compact tractors build here in the USA anymore?

I used to avoid shopping at Walmart because all their stuff was made in overseas sweatshops but over time it seemed a fools errand to pay a higher price for something on the basis of where it's made. Low cost manufacturing has lifted billions out of poverty in recent decades and a rising middle class in the developing world can mean more jobs here at home.

A stable middle class and the consumer demand it generates is critical to a vibrant economy. We shouldn't lose site of that. I buy American cars nowadays because they're on par in quality and are competitively priced. I'd buy a tractor built in the USA for the same reasons.

Yes, (sort of... some don't call it a tractor... I call it a multi-tool platform)... Power Trac is made in Tazewell, WV.

I love mine. Had it for 12 years. Would by another tomorrow as it fits my needs perfectly.

I'm sure that was a typo but it's actually Tazewell, Va. Not too far from me actually.

Yep, VA. I keep forgetting that little corner of VA tucks under WV.

The pres says it all the time in his speeches ..he says Yo & Tah....start counting the times....next time you hear him speak...it won't take long he campaigns 24/7

Strongly disagree. He says "Yo" when he thinks he is talking to predominantly a group of "brothers".

If he thinks he is talking to educated blacks or whites-or green or whatever-educated the key word, he goes into "Harvard speak". But you are correct-campaign 24/7 and we pay for it.

Well, I wouldn't normally point this out, but since you asked... Your post does not appear to follow the English standards for capitalization. While I understand the all-caps for emphasis, other words are capitalized for no apparent reason. There are also some slight punctuation problems, but no recurring patterns there. Or...were you asking about content? :)
FWIW ... Check out the book "Ade's Fables", by George Ade. Lots of interesting use of capitalization. An entertaining read.
