Have you ever thought to consider WHY that is?

Didn't I suggest why in my post? I thought I did.

When the fairtax become law that situation will change very quickly with regard to shoes and many other things no longer manufactured in the USA.

Really? How? Remember labor is 20 times more expensive in the US than China.

You do realize, don't you, that labor costs are but one of many considerations one take into account when deciding where to locate a manufacturing facility.

On second thought, perhaps not.
