Hey..I wonder the same thing myself, but the reality is that we are a nation
of people that want to make $100,000.00 a year working in the widget factory,
but want to buy our widget three for $5 at Walmart.
Heck, Mexico is already losing some of the apparel business, and it's still
in the process of moving there.
The VW factory workers in Mexico City just got a 14% wage increase to build
the new beetle that Volkswagen cant sell in Germany because it costs so much!
