It's about time they did this! Cheap labor (and the resulting lower cost of an item) often leads to junk products. In the agricultural business, labor accounts for aprox. 5% of the retail price. I would gladly pay that additional amount knowing that I was spending my money on American made, supporting American business and American Workers!
IF big business saw that we consumers were willing to pay a little additional cost for American made, knowing that they were paying a decent wage, they would move manufacturing back here, providing that Congress would do something about our huge tax burdden.
