It's lazy and naive to simply blame the producer. The customers demand a lower price above all else, what else can the producer do? it's like people here saying in one breath they hate oil companies for for the business they are in, and they hate oil companies because gasoline is so expensive ... naive and lazy.

Yeah, because ever since Nike started outsourcing labor to developing world countries, consumers have really felt the discount in their shoe prices.
No - the truth of the matter is that these companies are going to charge $100-$150 for a pair of shoes whether or not it costs $2 to make a pair or $50, because that is what supply/demand dictates. The discount isn't getting passed on to consumers.
