<<It would be much easier to make products here. Who wants the headaches of overseas production. >>

Easier? Yes. I'd like to see some tax breaks for producers here but I know tax breaks like that make liberals scream discrimination against the poor.

I wish Arrow shirts had stayed domestic but they could have their shirts made in plants they built overseas cheaper. The unions wouldn't cut costs enough to stay competitive and technology couldn't cover the difference.

Again, when you see two products of equal value, do you buy the higher priced one?

When you have a business you are in business for one primary reason: to make a profit. If you can make a profit of $8.00 per unit by manufacturing goods offshore and only $3.00 manufacturing it in the U.S., where, as a good business woman looking to maximize your profit would you manufacture your goods?
