Go overseas..........make a product for a total cost of $1.00...........ship it back to the US...........and sell it to a bunch of morons for $10.00.

What do the morons do for work? Eventually this has to come to an end. I don't think it will be a good end either. RT

Wish the hell I knew..........but, they seem to have an unlimited supply of cash.........because these companies are thriving.
