Tell it to the Japanese ...
Now, since I'm already replying to you I'll toss the following out for the Free Trade crowd and the Protectionist crowd to chew on:
I bought a beard trimmer at Walmart the other day. Getting past some variations in packaging, I had three to choose from. Brand "A" was made in China. Brand "B" was made in Taiwan. Brand "C" was made in USA. Price, for comparable packages, was around $40, with about a $5 spread. Not much of a spread ... and an easy choice to buy American. In that particular market, the choice by Brands A & B to manufacture overseas really didn't save them anything and lost them a sale. Make of it what you will.
That’s exactly my point if you go to Germany, South Korea and Japan you see factories making all kinds of products right there at home.
They aren’t stupid.
