Brick by brick, American business loses edge

Yet another tale of an American company expecting handouts from the
government...

People this is called CAPITALISM. If you want to get the business
these days, you need to be able to do the job for less than the other
guy. Gone are the days of giving business to American companies simply
because they're American.

How sad is it that they got beat out by a German company? Germans
produce some of the highest quality, and consequently most expensive,
products out there... The fact that an American company can't even
undercut the Germans is a testament to the rampant greed in our
society.

Everybody's gotta have the clothes and the bling and the escalade and
the xbox and the flatscreen and the iphone... Those are things to
strive for, not inalienable rights... Companies just can't afford to
pay people that much to turn a wrench for 8 hours a day anymore, so
they send the work overseas where people appreciate a living wage
because it's more than they had.
