Why should the federal gov interfere with profit? Seriously, why should a gov make a decision as to whether or not you "deserve" profit?

If you prefer American made goods, then sacrifice and pay more for American made products. That is your prerogative. I own a Harley Davidson for several reasons, two of which are it's American made, and it has a better resale value than most foreign made products. Is it a better product? Well, in the 70's when I had a Honda, HD was not a better quality product. HD is more expensive than most foreign made motorcycles, but they all get you from one place to another.

I own a Ford. Supposedly, an American made vehicle....supposedly. The parts are cheaper and the repair is cheaper than many foreign made vehicles. Is it a better car?

I shop at Walmart on many occasions. Why? Because I don't like to shop and they have a wide variety of products. Walmart allows the lower range earners to live at a better level lifestyle by providing products that cost less so that you can have that big TV, or those stylish clothes that middle class or higher have. Our lower income folks live a better lifestyle or equivalent lifestyle as middle class in other countries. Our poverty level is high compared to poverty level in other countries. Other countries' poverty level do not have multiple TV's, high speed internet, or even air conditioning.

My point is that, we have foreign made (cheaper) products in our country and because of these products, our folks that have a lower income level can live a nice lifestyle. If you want to pay more for American made products, then do it. If you can't afford those products, then purchase a cheaper equivalent product made in another country. Why in the world would anyone wish to make life harder for people by taking the mid level lifestyle away from a large group of our population? Places like Walmart and big box stores provide a valuable service. They enable lower earners to live a comfortable lifestyle that many would otherwise not be able to afford.

Sorry, if I am not concerned about someone paying and complaining about paying $1000 for a set of golf clubs. I hardly play golf so my garage sale $23 full set of clubs are fine. On the other hand, paying $95 for a Pickleball paddle is also nice. I could make do with a $35 paddle, but I can afford the higher priced paddle.

It is quite easy for those of us that CAN afford the higher priced goods, to complain about lower priced goods that make it possible for those that are on a budgeted income to live at a higher, more comfortable lifestyle.

Does anyone ever consider the fact that lower priced products attribute to a higher volume of consumption, which in turn increases the need for employment?

Another complaint is about Wall St, which I find ironic. We have Occupy Wall Street miscreants and socialists complaining about stock market profits, and yet they forget about how those profits affect retirement pensions, 401Ks, etc. But, that is another subject.
