I will pay more for a quality product if I expect to own it more than 3 years. I am not concerned with where it is made unless I know that it is being made under sweatshop conditions. Sometimes the price will indicate that, but not always. People in third world countries deserve some means of earning a living and currently outsourcing provides that in many instances.
I would be inclined to lean towards a manufacturer who demanded a reasonable standard of living for employees of the companies that they used but don't see it as happening overall.
