It's suppose to work that way and maybe it did originally but greed killed it. They can make Nike shoes for probably pennies. Do you get a break on your Nike shoes? No, you still pay $200+ dollars. The price of the shoe has increased, not decreased. It has cost more to buy every year just like every other product.
No breaks, yet the cost of making the shoe decreased when it went to a 3rd world country. In essence, companies are able to double their profit margin by increasing the price AND getting it made cheaper. The consumer doesn't get a break no matter where the shoe or computer is made, unfortunately.
And you have to consider, who is going to be able to afford these products when the jobs are in another country? The American that used to work at Dell when it was in the US had to find another job, probably one that pays less.
