I'm just as fed up as the next guy, but try getting Joe Consumer to pay U.S. made prices on his next TV or DVD player purchase.

Lot of luck with that one.

Why ? Joe Consumer happily pays for Toyota and Honda vehicles built in the good ole USA.

I hate to say it folks, but that's capitalism. Business owners will seek sources of labour and low production costs so as to maximise profits, and consumers will generally seek whatever is lower priced and reasonably good quality (which, to be fair, increasingly does NOT include "Made in China").
