It's not that well thought out, you asked some questions about it :) and a few others said some more about it.
I'll admit i have some jealousy about those making more money than me, it clouds the judgement a little. (although rewarded for good work is ok by me, but getting a bonus for ruining a company is not)
I should have said that with too many companies involved in the supply chain to make one product, each ones' need to make payroll and overhead in general increases the cost to the end user.
Also thinking about it all day, I realized a lot of cost to the end user is spent on advertising, development, and overhead--those machines that automate food making aren't cheap, as simple as some look, and they aren't as common as a ford car, so that manufacturer can charge what they want to the production facility because they know they can (and probably deserve most of the price). Unfortunately, some cost has to goto supporting a corporations failing ventures. etc. etc.
I still can't comprehend 100-200k for a tractor despite what I said a couple sentences ago.
Suppose I covered what was already said, but got on a roll.
Hard to figure how a couple pennies here and there can change the retail cost so much, isn't it?
