HELP ME WITH MY MATH

One thing we keep hearing over and over again;" to keep prices low, we have to ship all these jobs overseas".

A worker in China earns one dollar a day. Material might cost a dollar or two. So according to my old way of math, one plus two equals three. But with today's new math, Mattel and Nike as well as other big brand names seem to come up with totals of forty or fifty dollars and a lot of times, quite a bit more.

So what math are we going to use. My old fashioned method or the new math created by the corporations; for they are the only ones benefiting from it, as we continue paying top dollar for products we purchase.

The only numbers that corporations worry about are the profit numbers. Anything else is just clutter.
