Made in china?

[Fred]

Quality is job one. I think I heard that somewhere

Outsourcing is a result of globalization. Globalization has made it possible to pay a cheap wage and still get near the same product sell at a greater profit and make the wealthy, wealthier. As soon they break all unions they will pay people here even less than they have to. Only reason they pay 7.15 a hour minimum is cause there is a law saying they have to, if there was no law they wouldnt pay it!!! The people in china made $20 a year now they make 200 a year and they feel rich.

I would like to know the price difference between the Chinese wheel and the closest Made in the USA wheel. If that info was avail I think we not see a big difference. I try to save money too, so I understand why big business does what it does to save money. all I'm saying is its another guy out of work because his company can't compete. That's not good for our country no matter how you look at it!

It would be nice to see the cost difference.
I was all ready to purchase a hoist made in china and I ran into this company. Here is my post about it. ProKar, the leading brand of car lifts, auto lifts, motorcycle lifts, garage lifts, automotive equipment, and home hobbyist lifts.

Centerline wheels are going to be your cheapest USA made options. I will be getting a set of them and having them Black powder coated, they are a great wheel for the price. I am not sure what all that is on the Raptor is made in China But everything on my tuck that I upgrade it with to be made in the USA

I wish Ford went to centerline.com

I have a company and we do a lit of business in China because the cost of manufacturing items in the US is out of control. It's cheaper for me to have parts made here, shipped to China, assembled and shipped back. You would be surprised at how many companies do that. Shipping out of the US is almost free today because we have no exports. If I bought everything in the US and tried to compete I wouodnt last a year. I am not the 'super rich' 'mega wealthy' 'wall street scum' just simply a guy trying Romans my Raptor payment and come up with some extra cash to send to RPG. Minimum wage in CA is almost $9.00/hr. Why does the government tell me what I have to pay someone? If they think $4.00 hour is a good amount of money for a couple hours a day why should the government get involved? Why should some 16 year old kid be intitled to that amount of money? They don't have a car payment, mortgage, family to support....oh wait they do pay taxes. And the more they get paid the more taxes they have to pay....hmmm. Like I said...don't hte the player hate the game.

And as a side note I always offer a US made product for customers that are willing to spend more but no one chooses to spend more.

I also have a business and import from China and Taiwan, Taiwan does a excellent job and has a much better work ethic and they care about quality. China Does not, I can have a item produced cheaper in China but they will not produce them correctly. Alot of China's problem is there availability to decent raw materials. I work with GM and Ford and I have had conversations with people at GM when they first launched their wheel program and they defect ratio was very high.
Unions killed our Metal industry in America with retirement deals long ago and I don't think it will make a come back.

Ever wonder why your upgraded Sony Sound system sounds like crap, Speaker made in China
