Your math and/or word usage is incorrect. The manufacturer had
"revenue" of $4.50 a shirt. Profit is revenue minus expenses.
Expenses are considerable and consist of things like labor, raw
materials, energy, administration, amortization/depreciation of
machinery/property, etc.

What you'd like to see is a return to protectionism where artificial
barriers are created to foreign made goods: Duties, Tariffs, etc. It
turns out that protectionism is a two way street however and other
countries soon follow with their own trade barriers. In addition to
hurting our export markets/jobs, protectionism also results in
artificially high prices to US consumers - not only for imported
goods, but for goods produced here as well.

Be careful what you ask for or you might end up paying twice as much
for your next car and get an inferior product. Did you ever take any
courses in economics?

You're pretty goode at taking the wind out of his sails. There's no
wonder why he calls you all sorts of silly names. ;-)

Harry's lack of understanding about business is in abundant evidence in the court recods of
nearly every where he has lived and conducted business.

Unlike you, I don't need a really big old boat to compensate for a really
small old dick. And of course your assumption I stated the shirt
manufacturer was making a $4.50 net profit on a $9.00 shirt.
Banisters...no wonder this country is ****ed. Have nice day.

Wayne's name calling in rec.boats is just another example of his
hypocrisy. He claims he wants posters in here to be behave decently,
but, of course, what he says he wants doesn't apply to him.

This is a perfect example of one of Harry's warts. Projecting his flaws
onto others.

Nonesense. Wayne has a big old boat because he lives on it for 5
months at a time and uses it to travel to places that most of us would
only dream of navigating to. Everyone has their type of boating and
interests. Few do what Wayne does.

To each his own. What Wayne does for "five months at a time," indeed for
the whole year, seems vacuous to me. To me, the idea of being *that*
retired with nothing really to do but putter around in a boat for half
the year seems mindless and completely self-indulgent.
