but are you willing to, or do you pay more for American made products "if" they are clearly a better product than made overseas?

I am. Remember how many people went and bought foreign made cars, Toyota and Honda come to mind, when they started being sold in the U.S.? Reason, they were better products, according to many people, than those being made here in the U.S. at cheaper prices than the imports. Anyone thinking that introducing foreign made cars to America didn't have a big impact on the quality of US cars improving hasn't been around long enough to know the difference.

Now if we're talking plastic spoons and forks made in Mexico, I guess a person would have a point of buying cheap but I don't recall a lot of financial business ventures affecting our economy being predicated on where we buy plastic spoons and forks.
