I was in furniture biz for 15 yrs and so much had gone to imports it was sad.  You could have 2 bedrooms both for 2 grand import one would be a bit "fancier" US on solid wood, cust would buy import.  Didn't care.    The dont care attitude is why 75% of those unemployed are unemployed.  Dont care about finding a job.  Hear it weekly, "I wont do that for $10 a hour".

Many US companies outsource their product and you think you buy US but your wrong.  Last week my wife bought pair of tennis shoes, $85 made in china.  Can we not make a pair of $85 shoes.

While we can make shoes for that here AND pay the workers here a good wage the real issue I believe is that fact that the top dogs (CEO's and such) make far more IN THIER POCKETS and screw the working folk by sendingthe work overseas. (Face it when was the last time you saw a product go overseas and the price actually drop?)   

If CEO's made a real reasonable wage then products COULD be made here and the workers could make a decent wage.

Its all about greed at the top where the bastards can and do move shit to help themselves and not others.

Proof of this is there ARE a few companis here in the US that the owners and CEO's do not pay themselves exorbitant salaries (That they often (if not always) do not deserve) and the workers instead get a good wage for a good job. Its rare but we see them on the news now and then.

Ever watch how labor intensive it is to make a pair? Question answered.
