There has been a strong push to do business in America and specifically in your local community with locally owned businesses and for good reason. Economics 101 teaches us a trade occurs between two parties when the desire or need for goods and services are exchanged. Today that exchange usually comes in the form of money, which when exchanged in a local community is distributed for other goods and services in that area.
