lamao, If you have something you want to sell, do you not want to get every penney you can possibly get for that item? The price you place on an item is based on what the market will realisticly pay. Whether its you selling items in a garage sale or corporations selling on the world market. They dont just automatically set a high enough price to justify the profit they want to make. I'm curious. YOu say that soon there wont be anyone in this country able to afford to buy items. Can you tell me when that would be? Its strange, when someone wants an item where price is a factor as to whether to buy or not to buy, its OK to buy foreign made products because they are low in cost, but at the same time resent the foreign labor making the product. YOu cant have it both ways. I remember 20 or so years ago when the shoe industry virtually folded in the northeast, and began making shoes overseas, and put thousands upon thousands of workers out of work. All the while, workers building cars in the mid-west were buying and wearing foreign made shoes while clueless as to what was going on in New England. It only became relevant when their own jobs were in joepardy, and were being sent overseas. Then they wanted everyone to jump on the bandwagon and not buy foreign cars, because it put American jobs at risk. All the while they were complaining, they continued to wear foreign made shoes. Don't you detect a sense of hypocracy? The truth is that there are a lot of products that you use on a daily basis that you wouldnt be able to own if they were all made in the U.S. You enjoy them because they are made affordable by foreign labor.
