Products made in foriegn countries and imported to America cause an enourmous number of Americans to be employed. From the docks to transportation to distributors to retailers and everything in between. This idea that foriegn made goods do not benefit some Americans, although it may have hurt others, is misguided. And there are arguments made that in many cases, the net employment increases with imported goods.
As for pricing, goods are priced at what the market will bear, or they disappear from the market.

Much better than China. The worlds highest source of pollution not to mention all the problems with children's toy's in the U.S. Were getting way off topic. Im not bashing China, but we need to keep our jobs here in the U.S. or at least other countries that take care of there population and citizens humanly. Stillone Your gear appears to be made mainly in the U.S.A. but appears you have some interest in outsourcing jobs.

For those of you have not spent a lot of time in China, many of those companies exporting to the US are American owned or Joint Ventures with American firms. We don't complain when they pay dividends to our Portfolio's. |

Most of my gear is and was from small American companies like Lamm, Ayre, Cary, Conrad Johnson, BAT, Convergent Audio Technology, Rogue Audio, Wilson just to name a few. Come to think of it, the only foreign products are the Clearaudio table and the EAR phono stage. When it comes to cars, I wish American companies would offer something more competitive so I could switch. |

And if you want an American car, take a look at many of the models made by Nissan, Toyota, BMW, Mercedes, Hyundai and soon to be, Kia, and probably others. Oh, and beware of the "American" cars made in Mexico and Canada. The point is, it is impossible to do what you say.

No they do not have all of the freedom we do here and we should be very thankful, but they have a lot more than 10 years ago. |
