Which is also a self-fulfilling prophecy... we'll have to buy the cheapest possible stuff because we'll be paid miserably, and we'll have to be paid miserably because we're buying cheap stuff... another catch-21.99.Give over- everybody here can afford to pay for a really good pair of shoes rather than buying pair after pair of poor quality ones. We will all do so again when the value proposition becomes more obvious. IMHO.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
