Buying "Made in USA" also lends support to corrupt unions who support politicians that propose laws I disagree with.
Starving the beast begins with starving their supporters.
oh come on. even if you disagree with the unions and politicians, are you saying you'd rather "lend support" to corrupt factory owners overseas that pay their workers close to nothing and give them basically no rights?
Many of us feel the frustrations of today's economy and feel we are helpless to do anything to affect our conditions. You can do your part and refuse to buy foreign goods. Just but "Made in the USA !" only.
There might just be some thing you have to buy that are foreign made. Start looking and reading on packages etc and do your part
One can get carried away with this, but that's your choice.
Buyers base their choices on a variety of things including the race of the people in the company (there is a "buy from black owned companies" web site), where it's made and even the products that claim to be "green" or organic or from companies that support their pet social projects.
But when it comes to paying double for the same product, most people will go the cheaper route.

Why do you assume that overseas factory owners are corrupt and underpay their workers? That is an uneducated generalization.
In fact, Mercedes, Ferrari, BMW and lot's of other overseas factory workers would find your comment amusing.
I never bought a Toyota or the such.. always bought American . So many things come from China I can't find a label made in America.. .I don't think we create anything here other than unemployment and poverty.

Several years ago, while out shopping with a friend, we made a point of trying to find merchandise which wasn't manufactured in China. It's not easy.
