US workers bought the products that they made. The far more sturdy products could be often repaired instead of being so shitty that they MIGHT be worthy of being recycled after disposal. Those peasants off-shores who are manufacturing the cheaply made and poorly comprised junk for export to the US most often cannot even afford to do likewise.
Really? Ever heard of planned obsolescence? It was part of what killed the US auto makers but nobody seems to mind that it's a core tenet of the Apple business model. I bet you have an iPhone - probably on your second, if not third. Thumb definitely has one.
Also, maybe you should take a look at some data before you regurgitate union propaganda. Maybe do a little research about who has the faster growing middle class - the US or China. Let me know what you find.
