The difference as I see it is this..... I have no problem with someone charging 1000 or 10000 for a bag or anything else for that matter...... if people want it they will pay it and the profit goes to the maker etc...... fair enough
I do however have a problem with the way some of the articles are produced and the wages paid to the workers..... I dont mind how big the pie is.... as long as all the people concerned in making the pie get a slice.....
I see two different issues here.... one of pricing.... and one of production.
I doubt very much the chinese pay their workers any more than the foreign companies who manufacture in china.... which is shameful to say the least.
