Part of the reason it can be so hard to find US made toys is that US mfgrs have been driven out of business by foreign mfgrs who can undersell us - in big part due to the fact that the US tax code rewards those who import to the US - and simultaneously punishes US mfgrs.

It is unbelievable that this "foreign aid" goes largely unnoticed.

I suspect it is slowly getting more notice as support for The Fair Tax grows knowing that The Fair Tax will eliminate the 17% competitive advantage foreign countries have over the U.S.
