Sure does. Even if the difference is small, it adds up. Imagine a 5 or 10% increase in the price of goods. Sounds small? Nope. If I can buy a TV made in Mexico for $200, why would I buy one made in America for $300?

$300 is an increase of 50% from $200.

Same with your products. Why would an American buy them if they can get them cheaper from India? There is a reason for national sovereignty and borders. I guess you just don't understand them. You can only compete against the lowest common denominator in a world government; grass huts and third world nations. If you want to live in one, move to the countries that have them. I wish to live like an American, and I won't apologize for it. You do what you want, I will do my best to keep the grass huts out of my country.
