It's funny you know...some folks just don't look far enough ahead to see what's happening. It doesn't matter what it's like in China or Mexico. It doesn't matter whether their polution brings them early death...so long as North Americans keep buying from other markets what are we going to do for employment?
People just don't understand you know? Like you'll talk to someone in construction & they think they're immune because we aren't Importing houses yet...how do you think the population that is effected will be pay these folks to build these houses?
I have absolutely nothing against Chinese or Mexican People...Vancouver is 40% Asian. So long as you're living in the US or Canada, I have no problem buying your locally manufactured goods but you don't have to have a crystal ball to see what's going to happen if we don't start imposing large taxes on Imported goods.
It's sad because in most instances now, even if you want to by US or Canadian...you can't!
Every set of Hubs Dan Shockley sells cost us guys money. That's a machine shop in the US that's not getting the work which means he's not paying taxes on that potential income nor are his employees paying income tax because they're on welfare instead....you get the drift & I in no way blame Dan Shockley...it's the system!
Dan's got a great gig going & in a fair USA, after taxes, Dan's hubs would cost exactly the same as Steve Fowler's US made hubs.
Why would we want companies selling their products here with a horribly unfair advantage?
It's rediculous & I really have no idea how governments pulled this off. I mean do people really wonder why the gap between rich & poor is increasing at the rate it is?
OK...back to work before I blow a head gasket
