[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1659646, member: 9096"] I think the problem is much deeper than just a minimum wage that's killing mom and pop store, Amazon, Walmart, etc being the most prominent examples... My big issue is when a gov't entity like the post office gives too big a "volume discount" to one company that no one else can get.. Why does it cost me more to mail something to my next door neighbor than the price they can get it for on Amazon, including shipping? Now the cat's out of the bag though. The problem with Walmart is they have 1000% markup on garbage from china, yeah, it's still half the price of a domestic, quality product, but it doesn't last half as long, so domestic producers no longer have the volume so they have to increase prices until it's really unaffordable for many things. Tariffs are paid by the consumer, The stuff coming out of china is so cheap that a 100% tariff doesn't begin to cover the damage to the local economy [/QUOTE]
