Viperfreak2 is on a distinguished road
It would be easy (for me)

And I'm only speaking for myself, If I saw a row of DVD players at Walmart* and each had a little flag showing the country or origin on top, I would pass by each one with a Chinese, or Taiwanese etc flag and buy the American product, even if it was more. Double the price, no. Same goes for clothing: If Walmart* had one rack of clothes with an American flag on top I think everyone would flock to it. I just don't see that any product made here could be significantly higher in price. China is getting richer and the people will not work for dirt anymore. I know this to be true as I have friends in the auto business who travel there all the time. The cost of shipping all that stuff across the Pacific is way up. Everytime I watch the TV show 'How it's Made', I see so much automation (here) and very few people! If labor is the key, then surely we can create the few jobs it takes to run an automated factory on this side of the pond.
