Any person with an IQ over 80 will know that when you manufacture something with much less cost you will sell it cheaper than when you manufacture it with much higher cost. 30 posted on 11/06/2005 11:15:19 AM PST by jveritas
You said 3 times cheaper. Back it up, if your IQ is up to it.
It is an standard in most industries to sell something with 2 to 3 times the cost. If the cost in the US to manufacture certain goods cost ten times that of what it cost to manufacture it Costa Rica for example, then make sure that the manufacturer will sell at least 3 times more expensive this goods manufactured in the US than the same one manufactured in Costa Rica.
Go to Western Europe and you know why a lot of goods there are 2 or 3 times more expensive than here in the US. This because they want to manufacture locally (Stupid union and dumb protectionism) and it cost them a lot money to do so hence everything get very expensive. The end results are that Europeans have lower standard of living than us, they buy less than what we do, their economy is stagnant or in recession, and they have double the unemployment rate that we have.
