Very funny...

Do you have anything to support your claim that a US made woodworking router costs $7.28 to make?

You DUmmies tend to overplay your hands, don't you?

It is funny.. The same people on this thread yell at Bush for increasing the size of the Government, yet they want the Government to "protect" our jobs.. That is calling for big Government if you ask me.. Can't have it both ways..

A few years ago I had reason to visit a manufacturing plant in Pickins, SC. (I was making a call to find a bug in a telephone PBX.) While there, the CFO took me on a plant tour. While on that tour I spotted the router that I purchased and use. When I indicated thusly, the CFO asked what I paid for the router. After I told him, he whistled, then said, "My God, more than a 1000% markup. We make them for $7.28 each including parts, labor, and engineering amortization".

Do you have a reason to think I am less than truthful about all of this? I am an American who is anxious to see America stay strong even after I am dead and gone. What possible justification can you have for disposing of experienced American talent?
