"We are in a global economy"
I Guess our friends & relatives will have to get used to global wages then.
I'n not saying everything I buy is available in North America but one thing is for sure...I research everything I buy & definitely put an effort into buying North American from my auto parts to my clothes to the food in my refrigerator.
As we speek I'm wearing Carhart pants jacket & socks...3 times the price of other work clothes & worth every penny. I'm wearing Dayton boots made here locally...$200 a pair & again last 3 times longer than any import work boots.
I buy North American hand tools & buy North American electric tools when I can find them...German if I can't.
I just bought a new Cummins starter from Dodge-$700...the Taiwan one was $160 but you are right about one thing...the Dodge one is likely from Taiwan too!
