Would you like to pay more for something because those who produce it receive high salaries? Or would you be happy to buy the same product at a lower price when produced by lower paid workers? As long as the quality is good, I would be more than happy to pay more for the American-made product. No hesitation on my part. I would assume that most loyal Americans would be glad to do the same if they are financially able.

Would you pay twice as much for the American product? You might have to, if some people on this board get their way. Competition--including foreign competition--keeps the prices of American products lower. Our standard of living would plummet if we simply decided to segment our economy from the rest of the world.
