I bought a quality pair of New Balance shoes for $75.00. Equiv. Chinese was about $50. I know the Chinese shoes are toast after 12 months, so the US made shoes only have to make 18 months before they are a better value.

We can compete, and if we do with shoes..then pretty much anything. Changing out Tax system and anti-business laws, and we’ll be fine.

If you mean retail, yes there isn’t that much different. Cost of Goods is another thing altogether, and that is what i mean with the 90% cheaper comment.

You are right that many items made in China are rubbish, have had a few experiences with this....
