Do you think is the same problem for Americans Working for less and buying for less?

Question

You have to understand that if you are always looking to buy cheap, Business people needs to cut salaries and find cheap labor, so every time you look for "low prices" when you go to the grocery store you are contributing to Illegal immigration so you can not have it both ways.

Answer 1

I dont always expect to buy cheap, just competitive. You can be competitive without comtributing to illegal immigration.

Answer 2

To a degree that's true. But there are things I pay more for because quality is more important. Unfortunatly so many things that used to be good quality made here, is comming from somewhere else and it's not close to the quality it used to be. I look for bargins, not cheap goods. There's a difference. Unfortunatly we're being charged top prices for cheap goods in many cases. Levi's used to be a top quality jean. They wore like iron. Now they aren't much better than dollar store jeans but we're still charged like they are better. Alot of quality goods used to be affordable but it's not the case anymore. Alot are made in sweat shops and just labels put on things. You're paying for the thrill of saying you got it at a "nice" place when it's the same thing in a "bargin store". Some of this stuff is ment to just fall apart just so we have to keep buying. There's a limit on what I'll spend for anything. Whether it be a tomato or beef or anything else. Do you realize that by continuing to come here illegally and working for cheap pay you are also feeding the system of high cost and low pay? Your quality of life isn't going to get any better either. As long as the top dog gets his profits on your back....it keeps the cycle going. The spiral is going downwards and the gap is widening. We want to put a stop to this across the board. All this global business was to stop this, but it didn't end up working like that. Rich are getting unbelievable wealth and many more are joining the ranks of the poor. I don't want to see anybody working not able to survive. I don't want to see illegal, legal, or someone far away being used to fill the pockets of the rich. The stock markets are based on having that profit margin get bigger and bigger each time. It's lower pay, lay offs, outsourcing, cuts in benefits and whatever other means they can find to keep it going, yet we are paying more and more, for less and less. There is no job Americans won't do. But it's not unreasonable to be expected to have decent wages for work done. I'd just as soon have these greedy people just pack up and go and let America get back to doing business the way it used to.

Answer 3

When Companies are compelled to make more profit than the previous year, they have to reduce their costs, either by employing more slave labor(china) or by increasing prices (would go out of business)

Also the common people western world has not noticed their worsening standard of living due to the cheap (slave labor) imports, but this will not last.

In short, the current capitalist system is unsustainable, we will be worse than slaves if the current course continues.

Answer 4

You need to realize that your argument for illegal immigrant are a waste of your 5 points every time you ask them,

You can buy low prices without them being made by illegal immigrants, EUROPE AUSTRALIA CANADA etc, do amazing well without illegal immigrants!! it's people like you that make the weak minded believe we need them.

Answer 5

As a consumer I have to watch every penny I spend to afford to keep my family clothed, with medicine, gas in my car and food on the table. I have to find the best buy on necessities. Having two full time workers and one small child is expensive.

Answer 6

as long as there are liberals with social welfare aspirations using your and my money through taxes...ABSOLUTELY
