I understand, and I do try to buy American whenever I can, as long as both products are of equal value and around the same price. But when I can get a higher quality item at half the price I will.

But for the majority of things like soap, shampoo, bathroom cleaner, food etc. I do buy American made goods.

The greatest impact is in the purchase of American services. If you buy foreign product, you still buy them from American outlets, who pay American taxes.
