Answer 1

Labor is almost always the biggest expense for any business.

Answer 2

Well, first you will have to invade the States of Delaware and Nevada. For 100 years Delaware has been the favored State to Incorporate, due to Favorable Taxes and Non-Disclosure. So what does Joe Biden have to say???
Nevada, same thing. Harry, you listening??? America want you to Tax the Shelter Corporations, you DON'T Tax there now!!!!!
Will Hillary undo all the work Bill did to get China into the WTO??? Give back the campain contributions?
P.S. Ask your Union buddies, how a Dock Worker can make 6 figures for schlepping crates, and then explain the Economics of trade.....

Answer 3

The Grand strategy was to entice communist china into the free market system there by defeating them with out military means,and at the same time open up one of the largest consumer markets on the planet, but as the saying goes "the road to hell is paved with good intentions", didn't work out quite the way they planed did it.But it is interesting to note that when the cost of oil reaches 100 American dollars a barrel that shipping goods from china will not be competitive.And indeed the Chinese will have to align them selves with the west to take control of the mid east.This is what big money does behind closed doors with its think tanks,plot and more plotting.You and I are not even in the equation..........

Answer 4

First, what a Corporation pays for YOUR labor is about TWICE as much as what your take-home pay is.
They have to cover you insurance, half of your Social Security taxes, and other benefits like vacation and holiday pay.
They wouldn't even have to heat and air condition your work spaceif you weren't there. A warehouse is far smaller with all those stacked crates than the space and building size needed to accommodate people.
By the time your scenario blows up in their faces, they will be the elites and you will be slave labor.
The trend is SET. Can you do something to change it?

Answer 5

Okay check this out...........I was doing business with MGM/Mirage properties in Las Vegas. They said they found a manufacturer to buy from in China that they could buy product from for 20% less than the cost of my American made product. I told them to go for it. Then pointed out:

* What happens if some arrives damaged?
* Who pays the freight for the 8000 mile boat ride?
* Are you willing to wait 4 weeks for product to arrive?
* Who pays air freight if you need product within 4 weeks?
* How much of that 20% savings is left after freight?

Needless to say it was all just a hoax to get me to lower my price. But it exposed a very valuable lesson. That even though products and goods might be cheaper to manufacture overseas........the freight brings the price right back up to what it would have been if you simply bought American! People need to look at the price at the bottom of the invoice. Manufacturing costs are expensive, but they aren't the only costs involved with providing products and goods!

Answer 6

Yes

Answer 7

The chinese economy is unsustainable due to them relying on low paid workers. I'm looking forward to watching these workers start claiming worker's rights.

Answer 8

You should be more careful with spelling and with raw information. You don't have a clue of what is happening with world markets.
