The issue of the customers stimulation for buying domestic products instead of foreign has been topical recently. While some people believe that clients should be promoted to buy mainly local goods, I side with those who support the idea of freedom of choice when it comes to products.
Encouraging citizen to purchase items made by domestic manufacturers has always been essential for government policy. First of all, this is the way of boosting the state budget which influences the process of creating new job opportunities. For instance, the entrepreneurs might hire employees, which manufacture the declared production, pay them salary and later realize items at the state market or even with the private dealers. In this case, taxes are usually collected on every stage. Creating more jobs also helps tackle the problem of unemployment in the country.
However, democratic societies provide the freedom of choice, which means that the individual should be able to buy whatever they want. This kind of strategy prevents any limits, especially the question of product selection or its origin. Opportunity to buy what we prefer is implemented in the human nature as a part of original instincts. That is precisely why it is important to retain the freedom to choose what we want to eat, drink and wear, so that we can remain human.
In conclusion, although the support of domestic producers and their goods is crucial for the state budget, people should be able to buy what they prefer as it remains the part of our identity.
