In -theory-, you are absolutely correct. However, in actual practice,
tell me when the cheap Chinese labor and cheap Wal-Mart prices go away,
how long do you think it will be until the American consumer starts
rioting? (You do realze that when the 15 cent an hour Chinese labor goes
to $15 dollars an hour American labor, that prices WILL go up, waaay up.)


You made a big ass incorrect assumption that manufacturers would pass
their savings on to their customers; they don't. They pocket the
difference. You get ****ed, or you get ****ed.
