Assuming facts not in evidence. Sure - if the shirt is the very embodiment of evil, you should not buy it. BTW, what makes you think the maker or seller of the $23 "made-in-America" shirt "gives a darn" about your health or isn't concerned with "making [themselves] rich"? In all likelihood, they don't and they are. If otherwise, they may be very caring people, but probably won't be in business long. As for "but that kills American jobs, that might be a foolish thing for me as a consumer", that is an economically indefensible reason for not buying the imported shirt. PS: Assuming the Chinese shirt-maker really is (i.e. is demonstrably) destroying the environment and the American one is (certifiably) not, how much more would you be willing to pay for the "green" shirt?
