[quote=sdduuuude]How come we never see letters that say “We, as Americans need to build stuff that isn’t so damn expensive?” i.e. why is the burden on the consumer to buy the wrong thing instead of on American compaineis to make the right thing ?
Huh? Huh? Ever wonder that ?

I think we American companies make good and right things. Just that other countries have slave labor and can afford to make cheap crap that WE buy. People here don’t want to work for slave wages. We have to pay a salary somewhat commensurate to living here. It cuts into a company’s profits.

It doesn’t make sense to complain that foreign countries don’t buy our cars, when we produce cars too big to fit on their narrow roads and too gas hungry (we still pay less for gas than most other countries). Foreign car companies have designed cars specifically for our roads. We have not designed cars for their roads thus cannot expect them to buy our cars.

We have other things we make beside cars. Problem is they can make it cheaper. Again, see above.
