Are American Consumers Being Insulted?

This is what I make here in the USA in a small town in Minnesota. I have lost a customer this year due to price increases they decided that they were not going to sell my product because I had to increase my price to cover the cost of textiles, the profit margin for them is not enough and they thought thier customer would not pay a higher price for them. I still have customers who sell my mittens who have been long time customers and still are working with me. Thank you so much for supporting my products!
Now....

Why do I think American consumers are being insulted?

    I think the end consumer is not getting the opportunity to make the choice, someone has decided that we the consumer would not purchase an American made product at a higher price. What is being "sold" to us daily through advertising is this: we should buy the cheapest item possible replace it a multitude of times because it has no value and we do not care about our belongings or how we spend our money.
Yet, we all want designer products that the TV stars wear at dime store prices... How insulting, and they are selling it hard to us daily. Can't we see we are missing the opportunity to enrich the very companies and people who are trying to make this a better place to live?  Yes my company has been hit, and I am upset, there are many really great companies making wonderful things right here.
Let's be better than this, let's set an example. We are handing over money daily for products made overseas, at the cost of underpaid people working in dangerous conditions and ecologically ruined countries that we will be asked to support later through no fault but our own.

Better products and better jobs...please don't be insulted anymore, start asking for more US made products to choose from and understand what your dollar is going towards...
Your future.
