Nice thought. When have business men chosen morals above profits? It was much more prevalent when we led the world in manufacturing. I would love to see companies come home but the number one driver of business costs is labor. If you think tariffs would raise prices of consumer goods you would really be shocked how much more expensive it would be to live if everything was made in the USA. Personally I’d be O. K. With that because it would mean more middle class jobs.
I buy clothes and work boots now that wear out way too quick. American made clothing was much better. I used to be able to buy good work boots for $40 a pair that were made in the USA. I would wear them a year and get them resoled for $17 and wear them another year. Those days are gone and the shoe repair shops are not around any more. When I buy Chinese made stuff it wears out too quick and I buy it over and over. No savings there--actually more costly in the long run.
