Ohh yeah? Go to any of the large retail chains and look at what they are selling and where it is made.
The wages our industries pay is dropping becuase of global wage competition.
Hate to say it, but I know very few people who shop for the most expensive items they can find. You want cheap, ok, cheap comes because some schmuck in Indonesia is willing to work for dirt. You want $300 12" TV's? Make them here in a union shop.
You are on the right track now just think on it a bit further and the impact that has on the USA.
Oh, I have. We still manufacture quite a bit here. But alas, the future isn't in making tennis shoes and clothes for Old Navy. It's technology. And yes, believe me, I am a Microsoft Partner, and outside their Dynamics line, I get "Ben" from Bangalore when I need tech support. It's very frustrating.
