[QUOTE="JaredC, post: 1651342, member: 20312"] I agree that there are alot of factors other than wages that are to blame for drastically higher prices. But theres no reason assembly line workers should get paid the way they do. Minimum wage is $2 higher than it should be as well. But on the flip side, I havent met a customer yet that would pay more for a bid job because I used domestic materials/parts. It doesnt happen. Americans want it both ways and you cant have it both ways. Either buy American, and pay more and get less, or buy foreign and get more for less.....which is what the OP's article is basically saying. [/QUOTE]
