Well if a $60,000 yearly income makes it hard for you other people to function no wonder I'm having a hard time! I'm making less than half that ammount, and yes the executives are making very large salires. One large textile company here was having financial problems, so they decided to hire a new ceo. After giving him a $7 milliom sign on bonus and a 3.5 million annual salarie, he proceded to dismantle the company. Stock prices went to hell and the layoffs started! There used to be 14,000 employees, now there's about 1,300! But as for the RCBS Rockchucker supreme press, if it's really made in China, i'm sure the price in my Midway catalog must be an error. At $109 this can't be right, according to the way you guys say tennis shoes and clothes and electronics have dropped in price this press shouldn't be more than $45- $50 . The truth is that modern production equipment and advancements in assembly technics have far more to do with lower prices than making products off shore. Cnc machines are much faster than chineese hands, and don't require the thousands of miles of shipping. Besides the number of mexican workers in this country make going offshore unnessary any way!!
