made in the USA vs made in China at Walmart I suspect you'll find a lot more foreign and slave labor goods at a Nordstrom or Macy, at a Cost Plus or others, than at Wal-mart. Probably more at Target or K-mart. But to buy American, you almost have to seek out small stores, or go mail order. You want Dan Post, or other, boots. Maybe a local saddle store? Or order direct (or ebay, ugh). Ben Davis, union jeans and shirts. Mail order. And so on.

You know, the funniest part of the whole "Made in the USA" versus "Made In China" argument is that a huge part of why stores carry items from China is cost. They're just cheaper to sell. And a large part (not the whole story, but a big part of it) of why products made in the USA are more expensive to sell is due to labor unions, and the monetary demands they make on businesses, both salary and other areas. The unions hose us coming and going.
