Well, you can blame the Government for everything being made in China, etc.(Bear with me,)
First off, they gave lawyers the license to sue everybody! Then, they made the cost of doing business in the USA so high, the plant ownwers couldn"t make a decent profit, what with union rules, work rules, insurance rules, hospitalization rules,lay-off rules, mounds of paper work, Regulations, all manner of things that took the profit out of everything!
So, the Mfgrs have the product assembled or made in China, and they only have to pay for shipping back stateside, and to their facility, from where they then send it out across the country to the stores! Now, no regulations, taxes, hospitalization, no unemployment to pay, no paper work, no factory to maintain, no environmental issues to deal with, just the local warehouse to maintain! And, thats why everything is made in China or elsewhere! It is price and competition that fuels the economy.
Our tractors and mowers, etc. will probably be made overseas soon, too. I hate to see it, but it will come to pass. Grab up the good ones and store them away-you"ll need the good ones later!
I"m not trying to stand on my soap-box to shout "Unfair". I"m just trying to point out why things are made in China instead of here!
