And no, you damn tightwad, the answer isn't to eliminate the minimum wage, give employers more freedom to screw people out of every last dime they can, cut off unemployment benefits or lay any more people off. All of those things do nothing but further damage to the ability of average Americans to BUY THINGS.
Geez.

It's not your inability to BUY THINGS, it's the unafordable cost of mass market goods "Made in the U.S.A."
Same in the U.K. "Made in Britain" was a mark of quality when things were built to last but not any more. People would rather buy a cheap DVD player then bin it in 12 months and buy the next generation cheap DVD player, both stamped Made in China.
