Exactly! We need this kind of mindset about American made products. No! How we get there is a question and a problem for the politicians to resolve. It is easy. Walk the talk. If you don't like the wages paid by McDonalds or Walmart, NEVER SHOP THERE. Why do you want to force feed people? For me, I stopped buying Japanese cars over 25 years ago when I learned they would not buy certain American products. I switched from an Italian sports car to a Corvette and dumped my Toyota 4x4 for a Ford van. I was really pissed off that even if we built better electronic products at HP and other US companies, the Japanese would only buy Sony or their other big brands. So... I gave it back to them. I only switched from a Corvette to a BMW X3 after years of "coaxing" from my girlfriend for a car she could see over the hood of and be easier to get in and out of... AFTER BMW built the US factory, I got one of the first, 300HP twin turbos of the redesigned 2011 model to roll out of the factory. I had to wait several months for them to "build it to order" much like Dell did for PCs... Of course, some things like TVs, there really isn't much choice.
