manufactured in the US cost far FAR more in the US than they do in

*So Medicare and Social Security are unconstitutional, and progressive
income tax too? If you were correct (and fortunately you are NOT) then the
Constitution would be a piece of shit that is headed towards a
well-deserved extinction.  *
