That's a myth. Ford paid his workers more because the market demanded higher pay. He had terrible turnover and needed skilled craftsman. Don't believe the socialist history you've been taught.
Nobody ever cheats the market.
So you are saying they couldn't afford to buy the product?
I didn't say WHY, I just said he did.
Either they could afford it or they couldn't. If the best paid craftsmen of the day couldn't afford those "cheap cars", who, pray tell, could?
