Depends where the alternative is.
I will pay double for local vegges compared to vegges from China. But I guess a large part of that is because of the quality/health difference.

I agree that it depends. On a lot of factors. Closed union shop from a good US company I'd pay 20 percent more without blinking. And depending I might pay lots more than that.

Nothing. Assuming everything is equal in quality and whatnot, paying more for it would be an artificial construct and further destroy the free market.
Now, if it's a higher quality product, well then, that's a different story.
There are some things that I don't need a higher quality product.
I don't need a higher quality coat hanger or plastic trash can or higher quality vegetable peeler (higher than what I consider a baseline anyway).
However, there are things with a definite quality curve that matters. Cars, fine musical instruments (guitars), guns, sporting/camping/outdoor/hunting equipment, etc.

Thinking about it some more I wouldn't pay any more simply because it was made in America. There are a lot of reasons I would be willing to pay more but that isn't one of them. For instance if I was living in El Paso I would defintely rather buy local produce from 2 miles on the other side of the border than from monsanto grown at some mass agbribusiness facility thousands of miles away.

Made in the USA is worth about 25% to me.

Agreed, and I have actively purchased this way for a couple decades, especially if its made regionally, midwest/great lakes.
