Your math is so laughably wrong, you must be the product of a failing public school.”
No. I worked for a retailer. All of the stuff they purchased was made in China, all of it. And they marked it up at least 50%. And that retailer purchased it from distributors here in the U.S. who actually did the importing from China. Of course those distributors made their profit too and so had a markup. So a 50% markup is extremely conservative. See distributors import something from China for a $1 and then sell that to retailers so they sell that for a lot more than $1 as they have to cover their shipping costs and also make a profit. then retailers buy from distributors and they have to make their profit. the U.S. does import almost 3 trillion of foreign stuff per year. And after the U.S. distributor and retailers make their profits then the price that U.S. consumers pay for foreign products is at least 6 trillion (and that is a conservative estimate because I ‘m only using a markup of 50%). So consumers pay in stores at least 6 trillion for foreign made products and that is most of the consumer economy. So if we don't import everything we use now, soon we will( as the rate of import growth is tremendous). It's ridiculous that the government says that our U.S. economy is consumer spending and government spending. Neither of those produce anything as most (soon ALL) of the stuff U.s. consumers buy is made in other countries. That is no economy . An economy is producing things and if we would produce the 6 trillion we buy from other countries that would increase our technological prowess, and create jobs for American citizens.
China is the biggest threat to the U.S. and freedom. china has manipulated its currency( and Obama fails to label China a currency manipulator). Just this currency manipulation has led to a destruction of over 50,000 U.S. factories (better than any war bombing campaign could have). China has killed U.S. citizens with this economic war. All we are living on is debt(16 trillion and counting) . china is lending the U.S. money and buying up politicians and banks etc. So China is propping us up while they take over. China is even pushing for the UN to regulate the Internet.
Be Afraid: Russia And China Seek To Put In Place Top-Down Regulation Of The Internet
from the pay-attention dept
For all the talk of SOPA/PIPA/ACTA/TPP, there's another much bigger threat to “the Internet as we know it.” It's a bunch of countries who are seeking to use the UN’s International Telecommunication Union (ITU) to create a top-down regulatory scheme for the Internet. This process began a few months back, but FCC Commissioner Robert McDowell has a pretty good summary of the situation in the WSJ, and why those who believe in Internet freedom should be afraid.
China has to be stopped.China are a bunch of evil communists and they are at war with the U.S. and have destroyed our economy, factories, freedom( yes if you have money then you have more freedom so Americans have less money ...).
