Yep, and the fact that even those of us who are working full time still can't afford the goddam things at current prices. Prices need to drop significantly.

And the complete annihilation of all unions WILL BE a good start in getting prices down.

But, if wages drop with prices, what difference does it make?

Why would wages drop?

In setting your benefit and wage structure, do you ever consider making it attractive enough that your employees would not be interested in bringing in a union?

Canada does not have a mortgage interest deduction yet home ownership there is marginally higher than here. Of course they also do not tax capital gains on the sale of your main or vacation homes.

For the same reason that all the foreign auto makers located in the South. Geez dj you can't be that naive.

Wages won't drop but a few jobs might because of efficiency and the increased capacity resulting from such.
For once in their pathetic bitchy little lives, they would have to keep up with the modern manufacturing sector.
You guys have never done any REAL production work have you?
