Unless you also buy things that are more expensive (not 5% but 2-5x more pricey) simply because they're made in the US your argument holds no weight.

You would have the cushey job because of the 'power' for a while. But it has nothing to do with altruism - to win you need to adapt and have the best product or service.

Naive to think that's why US wages are high.

Difference from high wages and good product. There's a reason iPhones aren't made in the US

Labor is different from goods. People are absolutely getting different wages for the exact same work in different places.
