[QUOTE="idiot, post: 588325, member: 550902"] I thought that I was being quite broad by mentioning the “political and economic structure,†broad enough to cover the fact that American labor is considerably more expensive than that overseas. [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif[/IMG] Whether this is the fault of Labor Unions continuously marching for higher salaries here, long-standing governmental policies that offer tax breaks to manufacturers who locate operations overseas, or any other factor that I’m either too lazy to list or just not aware of, is certainly covered in my initial response.
