So I take it that you don't believe in capitalism? Are you willing to pay even more for your fabrics, which you will need to, if they're produced domestically, particularly if our government somehow forces companies to remain within our borders?

We knew that the fabric industry would suffer greatly when the plants all left the US. I know of thousands of jobs in SC lost and hundreds of plant buildings standing empty because their work was sent overseas. It seems there is nothing we can do about it; big business has us by the throat and doesn't seem to care about us, the consumer. PROFIT drives the world now, not service and decent products! (That's all for now; my rant is over!)
