re: Poll: Would you pay more for American made products if they are better?

I've paid premiums for US over imports. I'm not nuts about it, but I do go out of my way to buy US made products. Obviously there are financial limits and many times, of course, no US made product is available.
I read labels. I especially try to buy only domestic food products as US regulations tend to keep them safer than the imports.
I've owned cars for over 50 years. Never any brand other than Ford, GM or Chrysler. The last 15 years, nothing but Fords. Yes, I realize much of the content of US brand autos is foreign sourced and that many Toyotas, etc. are at least assembled in the USA.

I don't necessarily shop for US-made products, but I usually go quality over price to a point.
When I worked in the auto business, I almost exclusively purchased Snap-On Tools because I couldn't take a risk on my shite breaking and leaving me without a way to make money because I wanted to save a nickel.
I'd prefer to purchase American-made products, but if I get quality from a foreign brand that's comparable and I can save a buck, I may do it.
My wife and I both drive Korean-built cars, but that's because she and I both worked for the Hendrick auto group for a bit and we got a good deal on cars that have good track records from our combined experiences.
