Nonsense. Should they lose money by selling shirts that nobody buys because they're too expensive?
Companies are in business to make money for their owners and shareholders. Period.

It is amazing the number of posters on FreeRepublic you seem to think the business of businees, is to give it away.
Watch, someone will post that it sould be sold at a "fair" price.

And so went the way of American manufacturing, for the big dollars, as the folks at home, in America, struggle to work at Wal-Mart for $7.00 bucks an hour, as Mom and Dads wages shrink down the path of servitude.
They are. But another component of that has to be wages and working conditions that are adequate for a worker to have a decent lifestyle. Unions, government restrictions, and shareholder concerns address that, to keep things in balance.

Have you checked the prices in discount stores? Shirts, blouses, sweatshirts, (decent quality and style) can be bought for $3 and under. That isn't a fair playing field for competition. It's competition from foreign sources that don't maintain any reasonable standard for their workers. It's bringing our standard of living down, when huge segments of the population can't make a living wage.
Globalization isn't working (pun intended) for a lot of US workers. Those that said it would bring up standards for workers worldwide might've been correct, but at the expense of the US.
Its corporate bottom line vs. lifestyle in the US. That's the bubble that has to burst. I'd prefer to see us go back to a world with borders, and tarriffs, and controlled immigration, and jobs people could depend on, and safety. (End of dinosaur rant)
I wonder who the owners and shareholders will do when all their business property will be located in China. Will they be asking for help from other Americans and their state?

First we need to lower the living standards to the level of Chinese or hope that Chinese will catch up. The way how Chinese Commies and our Capitalists act, it might happen in not so distant future. Ah, joys of globalism.
