Hope you don't think I was trying to promote sweat shop labor in this country by my posting. I am not from NY but have a short term job here, earning $7.00 an hour and trying to make ends meet. As I wrote I was "browsing", and have resigned myself to not being able to buy. Just wanted to see what was in style nowdays.

If foreign companies are manufacturing in the USA, they should promote their products as such and knowing this I would patronize thse companies and their products when I can afford it. Thanks for your reply.

I've had an idea for a couple of years now. Someone should start a Patriot Mart. Sort of the Anti Wal-Mart. In order to have shelf space, the products sold must either have 60% or more of its manufacturing here in the US, or 60 to 70% of its employees here in the US, etc.

Would be an interesting experiment, would "made in the USA" be able to compete with the "rolling back prices" and jobs of Wal-Mart
