I wouldn’t attribute care for others as liberal.

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

I want alternatives to Chinese-made goods. I buy Newbalance shoes (if they are USA-made), but run out of options quickly.

Hey, Mr. Jobs! Are you listening?

I agree with that....we need US manufactured alternatives - made by non-union workers.

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.

"I buy Newbalance shoes (if they are USA-made)"

Try Lowas, made in Europe: http://www.lowaboots.com/home/

I'd rather not buy stuff made in China, either. It's getting darned difficult, particularly for electronic devices.

Why limit yourself to the I-phone? Why not go all they way and advocate EVERYTHING sold in the US be made in the US?

Why, I’m sure you’d be more than OK in spending 2 to 3 thousand dollars a month MORE just for the privelege of buying US products, right?

You were saying ...

You gotta be kidding ... LOL ...

Try "double the price" -- and then -- no one buys it and everyone says, "We told you it would be a flop!" ... :-)

Right, because that would be ridiculous, since liberalism is responsible for a huge proportion of human suffering in the world.

Good for you. I am not, and the difference would probably be quite a bit more than $100 anyway.

Then start making goods. You do not have the "right" to have options provided to you.

By the way, those sweat shop workers would NOT be better off if we pulled our manufacturing. They would probably have to revert to subsistence agriculture, which is NOT a better living than the factories in question.

Free trade is good for America and good for the world.
