There is a price advantage using disenfranchised slaves to produce manufactured goods, it is estimated about a 5% advantage on average. Now when you factor in the social, taxation problems it causes here in the USA when domestic factories are closed it is a net loser. But the retail price will be about 5-10% cheaper. Everyone here thinks the price would double if made in the USA, that is the big free trade lie that must be fought. One you like to spread. The fact is labor is only about 10% of the retail price, and that is if it is made domestically with UNION labor. 10% is the upper limit.

If you have a source, or facts, to back up your numbers, I would be very interested to see them. Please do not link to a commielib site. Thanks in advance.
