Would you pay more for goods that are made by United States citizens, in the United States? (brainwash, economy)

[texan2yankee]

I've thought about this question many times. would I buy something only because it was made in America? my answer is no.

I prefer to support American made all things being equal. but, if my sheets are made in x country for half the price of American made and are the same quality, I choose foreign made.

Nah. Companies have no loyalty to me as an American worker, I have no loyalty to them.

It’s not really about the companies. It’s about the workers.

That said, quality is important.

It is about the companies, bc that's who you're paying when you buy something.

That’s a simplistic way of looking at it.

But whatever. Who am I to tell you what to buy with your money.

No. I buy a lot of stuff from the US as it is.

Mind what?

In this case 'more' could be 2%, 10%, 50%, 60%, etc.

It's a wild spread and is basically meaningless.

So you're judging the entire output of a country based on one product you bought once years ago? Brilliant.

I find it to be unsettling when I see people with Veteran plates driving Toyota pickup trucks. Especially the new TuRD ones. Something is just not right about that. Real fugly looking trucks too. There seems to be a lot of them who like them. What a shame.

Same here the quality of said items need to be brought up to par with the rest of the world. If not then one might as well by the same thing but better quality and cheaper.
