I am willing to pay an extra $100 for my future I-Pad if it is made in the U.S.A.

Would you be willing to pay an extra 1000? That's what it would probably take.

The workers who make it are not coerced. They are earning a living.

Depends, at a Union manufacturing place ... maybe. But at a non-union shop ... the price difference between US made and non-US made is trivial. You go overseas to squeeze cents, NOT $$$ out of manufacturing. The per unit cost difference is measured in pennies - but millions of pennies add up. The big difference is not the labor costs ... it's TAXES!!
