Are you suggesting that people in other countries do not want more goods at a lower price?
No, not suggesting that at all,
but what I can't help wondering is this "at what price will people ask for those cheaper goods to come to them or are they even asking for that at all", and are they actually asking it for it at any price that is the lowest one, especially when they know what is attached to that idea or way of thinking ?
What type of suffering will people allow or endure in order to get those lowest prices available to them, whether in this nation and/or in the other countries/nations ? We have seen that preview already, and it hasn't been pretty at all at times has it ? "NIke" as I remember was just one example among many problems found in all of this over time. It was also involving sweat shop labor or modern day slavery found in the producing of these goods abroad. I don't think the people are searching for the lowest price per-sae, but more so of a fair price instead is all they want I think really. People know a fair and just price when they see it, and if they have to they will take two more weeks in order to get the money, instead of wanting it right away if they know it will be worth the wait.
A standard of living, is based on the ability to get goods at lower prices. Countries which subvert that system, often end up with lower standards of living.... obviously because if I have to pay twice as much for food, then I can't spend as much on other things. If I have to pay twice as much for a car, then I have less for other things... or I don't get the car.
This is true everywhere in the world. Yes, I would advocate the same everywhere.
Ok, but it's also based upon the value of the dollar for the most part, but in a class system like we have today in America, where as the gap is growing bigger and bigger or was growing bigger and bigger during the bubble or better times for some, but not so for many others as it should have been. I saw that the poor can be held down with a lower valued dollar in such a system that is geared for a class system to work well in such ways.
Especially if they have only a few dollars given them for their services, while on the other hand the rich have plenty of dollars in which they have gained in many different ways/methods (i.e. maybe good in some ways, but not so good in others), so what they do, is they stack them up quickly in order to get ahead, therefore making their value far greater in society than those for whom they see easily being held back in a system in which they could easily control in this way. Not all rich are bad, so don't get me wrong about that, but the balance has tipped the scales over time, therefore causing an out of balance situation to grow until we possibly have reached a point of no return. It is also producing the likes of these killers I think in society, where as hollywood has stepped in and is filling the idle minds with terrible stuff, and then the government has been paying the way for many, only to unleash what they have become in society or to show as to what kind of a product of such a society in which they have become has been loosed on us.
