Most often when products are ordered online there is no way to determine where the product is made and in many cases that it will ship from "the slow boat from China". My wife and I have been attempting to find the origin of products, not often easy or even possible, when purchasing in store or online. It is time for a serious American grass roots effort to put Communist China on the back burner. I know it is far cheaper to purchase most comparable Chinese to American made products, so for those who cannot afford to buy American made that is understandable and should be their choice. For myself I am on a new mission to buy NON CHINEESE PRODUCTS and I hope that our regulators will make our freedom to choose, by easier and mandated "where products are manufactured" identification. That also includes products assembled here, but consist of Chinese components. "We the People can get this done!!"

I agree with your post. But, you can buy almost everything on Amazon.com. And, you can search their website by typing in "made in USA". However, I don't think that you will be able to live a very good life by buying only the products that appear on that search. Almost everything has components made in China or some other foreign country. I think the U.S. consumers have been conditioned to always seek out the least expensive products. That seems to be the message contained in most advertising. Asking consumers to pay more for a product because it is made in the USA would be a culture change of monumental proportions. Just my opinion.
