As a consumer advocate, I never concern myself with Corporate America's profit margins, unless of course, I am investing/trading a specific stock. But keep in mind Magnavox is a Japanese company. Given the weak Yen, it pays to buy Japanese products here.

Pricing is whatever you can get. These days, I routinely charge Wall Street Pigs triple what I charge ordinary folks and I get it.

Lately, I've been buying some of my groceries from Walmart online. Prices for the same items are 50% cheaper than shopping at a local Supermarket.

When I think of Corporate America and how they routinely rip off the average consumer, it makes me realize how right I was as a teenager to despise their practices.
