Bosco, Dennis, interesting discussion. keep it up. Maybe nike and a few other manufacturers will eventually get a clue from the turmoil which is occurring throughout the world but I'm not very optimistic about that. The fact that most of these workers would have to work several months in order to be able to afford one pair of "nikes"(not that they would want to own a pair) illustrates the point. I am sure they are more concerned about putting a meal in front of their family. Maybe every American should be required to feed their family on $1.00 a day for one week each year. That might drive home the point.
The other "problem" area are taxes and tariffs imposed on foreign goods, i.e. in japan and korea. any idea how much a pair of levis costs in tokyo nowadays?
