That is the question.
With items I buy on a regular basis I try to weigh the facts. I am no more fond of American companies that sold the workers out than I am of buying from a communist country.
Toyota is the perfect argument to my OP. A foreign company (neg), has plants in the USA (+), Pays workers well (+), builds a quality product (+). Even thought the profits go to Japan the wages stay here. I can tell you from experience the wages are a lot more than the profits. I respect that more than a US company outsourcing the labor, then deferring the profits offshore to avoid taxes.
This is getting more complicated than I intended.
