What a lot of people fail to see is that American Manufacturing tends to
be too expensive with all the folderol involved.
Chinese importing creates jobs. It makes if AFFORDABLE to purchase
goods for resale. That creates a need for employees to do sales work etc.
Importing is not the evil that people make it out to be.
If Wal-mart could not purchase imported goods, they'd go out of business
and put hundreds of thousands more out of work. They'd go bankrupt.
Also, the American people demand low prices and cheap goods.
We are doing this to ourselves.
