To make that assumption means one must misread what was posted. My previous post was based on another opposite premise. Therefore you must have applied personal assumptions to completely misinterpret what was posted.

Previously, I reiterated a story of a CT manufacturer who reviewed wages in Mexico. At one fifth the cost, this CT manufacturer figured he would make a fortunate manufacturing his products in Mexico. Some years later, he returned to CT looking for his old employees. Moved back to CT to save his company. How can this be if the wages in Mexico were only 1/5th per hour? Welcome to everything in my previous post. If this story and what is in that previous post do not agree, then look at your own personal biases.

Where American companies don't make good products, then find inferior top management who has stifled some of the world's most productive people. That is where Wal-Mart is so effective. Wal-Mart demonstrates why the free market works.

Why would you assume something in China was better made? Such declarations were never made nor even implied. The patriot does not care where it is made. Free markets econmics save American jobs. But simplistic "buy American" logic will never explain this a well proven principle. A best thing that happened to American workers are companies such as Wal-Mart who use free market principles to attack reason for inferior American products - bad management. This free market principle is why other American companies are so productive - so dominate world markets.

If for a minute you think this says, "goods made in America are inferior to goods made in other countries", then you failed to comprehend why free market economies are so productive. Specific references to a concept called innovation explains why and when Americans make superior products.
