They aren't expensive because of the government.. they are expensive because wealthy people think they deserve more

I'll give you an example.. I almost started a business making a fruit slicer for bars, restaurants, etc.. that I designed.. I showed it to this guy that owns a pretty big business in our area... He's the make it snow guy.. if you see fake snow in a a movie or at disney world his company made it.

Here's a link to their site LINK

He's a bit of an arse, but he knows his shite... and tries to help inventors... you know what he told me about my fruit slicer?

This is a really great idea, you should do it, I'll even help you make a prototype if you give me $1000 dollars, we could get them made in China for about $2 a piece and sell them for $100 dollars a piece. I might even do it, it's still not out there... But the outsourcing part is what you should pay attention to... "I can get them made for $2 a piece in China..."

or you can get them made for $12 here. Either way, do something.

I may have been wrong about you. I am starting to think you just like to bitch about things.

And I'm confused. This makes all fruit slicers expensive how? Are there no cheaper fruit slicers? Are they all $100? Should they all be $2?

This makes zero sense. How does wealthy people, a smaller subset of the population than poor people, affect prices so extensively?

Let's look at a different example. I used to work for a tool company that shipped and sold all of those crappy tools you see for sale in gas stations. That business is a multimillion dollar business.

By your explanation, that shouldn't be the case.

Maybe I'm not understanding your argument. Explain it better.

Hold on. Are bitching about rich people because they have more influence on government than the rest of us? Is that where you are going with this terribly worded tirade of yours?

Dude, there is a reason that is. It's called government.
