I can go on and on about this. I'll try to keep it simple. Unions in America demanded a certain amount of wages varrying on there specific trade. Here is what happens tho, people overseas are willing to do the same labor for less $. So when a factory in america is hypothetically makng tennis shoes for $10 an hr at an avg rate with a cost of product at $7 an hr (textile plants in america were union as well) this becomes $17 an hour and overseas the same work can be outsourced and the same material can be made for a fraction of the cost cause they have no regulatory committees governing how much $ a certain profession is worth. Therefore the sweatshirt that costs $12 made in america to just be made costs us $20 on the shelf. Overseas, I bought sweatshirts $2 a piece, mailed them back... Shoes, Nikes the brand new ones $15-25. Here $150..... why are we broke? I'll tell ya greed. Sorry I just did my check book and I aint got as much as I feel I should, f'n $140 at the g'damn grocery story every week? I weigh 200lbs? I aint big. This f'n prick in front of me had nice cuts of red meat, a whole cart full of yummy name brand shit. Used a f'n link card. I have to work for a day and half to pay for what I eat I week, and these people dont do shit and eat better than me. Have a kid get welfare lay on ur ass is what america is promoting! I am hungry and bitchy sorry if I offended anyone, but if I did get ur ass off the couch and get a job.
