Bargains at the Expense of Others

For years I’ve heard Glenn Beck preach about how wonderful Bill’s Khakis are. My wife and I went to purchase a pair for myself and man-oh-man are they expensive! The latest clothing rage is 7 for all mankind and again, man-oh-man are they expensive! But are they really? Or, are we getting a bargain at someone else’s expense? Where does the Gap, American Eagle, Nike or almost any other clothing manufacture produce their clothing? I’ll give you a hint…can you say outsourcing? With all the talk of companies sending jobs overseas it looks like this huge market has been overlooked. Bill’s Khakis and 7’s are produced in the good ole’ U.S. of A. Maybe that is why they cost a more. Not because they are trying to make a huge profit, but because they actually pay at least minimum wage to their employees instead of $1 a day or whatever. So the next time you are out shopping and supporting the economy, think about these two products. By American made or stop moaning and groaning about outsourcing!

P.S. They look and feel great.
