But that same nikon camera is $3000 in japan. So figure that one.

Damn, you are dumber than a post, huh? They can't find the labor to

And you apparently miss the larger issue of wages not be adjusted to fit
market demands. This whole argument about foreign workers is a
smokescreen
clouding the real issue of wages being far too low. The days of racing
to
the bottom to get illegals to do the work for next to nothing are rapidly
coming to a close. Wages will have to rise and that will certainly
affect
market prices. But as they've been artifically low for over two decades
it's coming time to see them adjust. Blame yourselves for pretending you
could get everything for low prices, you can't and it's now becoming
painfully clear.


I think you're wrong, Bill. The Republican-Corporate plan to return
American workers to serfdom is still in its initial stages. And we haven't
been getting "everything" at low prices. Most of the prices middle income
folks pay for what they need are artificially high.

As an example, a Nikon digital camera that sells in this country for $1600
can be purchased in Thailand for $600.

We're being squeezed for the last drops.

And I haven't even addressed what is happening to workers at the
workplace.

I'm sure I won't live long enough to see it, but it would warm my cold
bones if middle-class Americans revolt some time in the future and stick
the heads of Republican lawmakers and judges and corporate muckity-mucks
on pikes.
