A few serious errors in your complilations...the stuff you see for sale in Wal-Mart is there because that's what their customers demand.....you can't sell an American made shirt for $25 when you can buy the same quality shirt from Bangle-desh for $12....an electric frying pan from here costs $50 while its counterpart from China is $29..The U.S is competing in a world market and price is important to everybody.

Total BS. The amount of labor that goes into each manufactured product varies but it averages around 6-7%. Using slave labor saves around 3% and reduced taxation / regulations saves maybe another 2% per unit. So your numbers are really bogus; if not laughable. So off shoring saves the customer 1 or 2 % with the other 5% going to shareholders and CEO perks.

Then prove it in the marketplace central va. Put your money where your mouth is and make it in the t-shirt business in America without using any trade goods that have crossed the American border.

You anti-free trade fools are really anti-liberty. The problem isn’t free trade, but government. Capisce?
