I am a girl who has an expensive pair of shoes. saved up for two years, for a 250 dollar pair of work boots made in america, high quality, water proof, steel toe logging boots.And if more people thought like you how many more people would be employed here ?
I am by no means rich, but I try to go for quality and locally or at least american made. When I can't afford these things, I go to thrift stores. Sure some are probably made over seas, but the money stays in the local area, usually going to help the needy, and I have found good quality clothes at these thrift stores.
I do not always buy american made. There are many times where I just cant afford it. I honestly think we need to encourage business to stay in the US any way we can.
