I won't buy a hershey bar and I will never buy a honda, drink coors beer or eat mott's apple sauce. It appears to me that the price of a hershey bar hasn't gone down since they moved to mexico. hondas arent any cheaper this week than they were this week last year.
Where does the money they save by outsourcing the work go? Is the savings passed along to us the consumer or does it go to shareholders/management? "If it costs $10 to build a big screen tv in china and figuring a x10 markup why doesnt it cost a $100, instead of $1000". How much would it cost if it was made in the US?. Why does my American assembled GM pickup cost less than a comparable US assembled import brand. Im confused. Eventually wont we be unable to buy/consume because our income is to low? Do we need evermore low income people to offset the inability to consume, to keep the consumption increasing. Where do we find a huge amount of low income people ready and able to buy cheap outsourced goods? If each person earns less then don't we need more persons? Do we then end up with a large population of low income people and the people that operate the companys? Does this mean the loss of the middle class? Is this capitalism? Again, Im really confused.
I enjoy driving in my American assembled pickup, setting in my American made furniture and I had no issues with paying more for it.
