Turk
You are the man. I assume from your nickname you are of Turkish decent? If so you are really what America is all about. You came to this country(or maybe your parents) and you actually care about other people who work here(Dare I say it AMERICANS). Ther are too many greedy people who call themselves Americans but who only think of themselves.

As for Corporate greed I know a guy who used to buy for a large department store chain who lost his job because they were bought out. They could buy Levi jeans made in the USA or China. The American product cost about $2.00 per pair more than the similar pair Outsourced to China. I do not know the stores cost but they sell them for about $38/pair so I doubt the $2.00 would break them by buying the USA made product. He told me that they would sometimes put two racks out with one with the USA product right next to the Chineese product. Many people voted with their wallet and bought the cheeper product while many voted with their head and helped their fellow American by paying the extra couple of bucks. It is too bad that more stores don't give us the option of choosing USA vs the OUTSOURCED product. I hate the PC term outsourced. Lets be honest and call it what it is a sellout.

Before you buy a foreign product at least check if there is a USA option. Sadly that is hard to do today.
