Default Re: $A=$US - Are we getting ripped off?

We pay $4 for 50c worth of jelly from China.
We pay $500 for labour that is worth $20 in China.

Every person here who has a job is being paid by someone who has to make the money whether that is the goverment in the case of public servants, or corporate, small business or sole trader.

Because all of use want so much money, are too stupid to be able to save for the future and have to have 9% super, are too lazy to have all our own health insurances and employment insurances a HUGE amount of money is required.

The place this comes from is the consumer, YOU.

By buying everything overseas and bypassing all the locals gradually businesses will close creating more unemployed and reducing tax income.
Govco will start to run out of money (yeh right) causing public vegetables to be laid off.
More unemployed will put pressure on other employers which will lead to more and more not working or having to work for lower wages.

And one day you will all look around and wonder what happened?

No single raindrop thinks they are responsible for the flood.......
