[QUOTE="klein, post: 711514, member: 23950"] Are the american people willing to pay $200- $300 for jeans, and $50 T shirts ? (about the cost of making them in the USA). Lets say, you just invented the frisbee. Do you want to manufacture it in the USA for a cost of $10 per piece, or 10 cents a piece and make larger profit ? Outsourcing is basically modern slavery. No longer do you need to bring cheap labor to the US, factories just go overseas. Yes, it costs jobs. But, americans have the choice themselves, to buy made in America, or go to Walmart, etc, and buy it cheap, made in Asia ! Thats the cost of free market these days. If you want to tax the hell out of imports, then so be it. Guess Americans will be cross border and internet shopping in Canada & Mexico then. And how will that work ? You want to be put on a waiting list to get a german or asian car ? Can you imagine the US government saying, ok, we've imported 1000 vehicles, now 1000 of ours need to go out, before we import any. To both of you : Why not just put a big wall around the US ? Nothing goes in, and all jobs stay there. See, if you can afford your lifestyle then ... Like I said, a lot of these foreign countries are basically slave labor , for you to live better ! Think about it. [/QUOTE]
