Default Re: $A=$US - Are we getting ripped off?

i think what is to be understood is we are all on a wage that is suitable and relative to the cost of living example:

So a nice T-shirt say Ralph loren or Nautica can go for around $120 in australia but the average minimum wage is circa $15 p/h
in the U.S.A the same shirt might be half the price made in the same factory but only cost $50-$60 but then again there minimum wage would be circa $5-$7.

so the price is inflated to match the market ( i think) aussies are paid more so we should according to govco and companies pay more.
