It's pretty simple, lots of people only care about price. And if the foreign product is $2 cheaper, that is enough. It doesn't matter that the US company had to cut pollution levels, pay 10x higher wages, pay the US Fed/State taxes, pay for health care, deal with the legal stuff, etc...
Then again, try buying an US made HDTV. There are a lot of products that have been eliminated because they couldn't get the cheap people who want to get the best deal, regardless of a bigger impact to the society they live in.
