I suppose a North American manufacturer has at least two choices, which is the issue: make-it-at-home-for-more or make-it-for-less-elsewhere. The majority of consumers will choose to buy-it-for-less (unless there are obvious and great quality issues) and the majority of people working will seek to earn more. If I were selling a model 54004 for $899, made-for-less-elsewhere, or a model 54005 for $1099, essentially the same as the 54004 but made in North America, which would you buy? If you were a builder, would you like to build the 54005, or the 54004 and earn half as much as building the 54005? If I were selling, and I was willing to put up with the hassle, I suppose I could sell both models and let each consumer make up their own mind.
