Who makes MIN wage? Around here high schooler"s are making $8 at Taco Bell. Our company is actually moveing some jobs to the US as the dollar deflation with the Euro is a huge finacial hit. Low cost countries (China) aren"t always low cost. If something goes wrong you can spend 2-3 years worth of profit in a couple weeks in air frieght. The American consumer is mostly to blame for this (the governments of these other countries don"t help any either). We want everything now. We borrow too much $ to buy stuff (made in China)NOW. We want our profits NOW so share holders force companys to move/buy overseas. We"re not investing long term anymore we want it all and we want it NOW. People won"t even wait for their turn at the store or at stop signs. They want to go NOW. Think about it. The Wal - marts of the world (Home depot, Lowes, target ect ect) have just helped this all along. IF they buy an American made product they force the company to almost sell it at a negative profit. If its something they want and you won"t meet their demands they will get it made overseas and good luck fighting them if you pattent something as they"ll drag it out longer than you can afford lawyers. Home-depot did that to Werner ladder. Werner wouldn"t "give" them ladders so they copied them in CHina. Consumer beware. Its a big problem and its going to take time to fix IF we want to fix it. My 2-1/2 cents for the day.
