Looks like we're headed for the day where the big American musical instrument companies will simply be importers and marketers who stamp their name and distribute product to their network. The answer is pretty complex but it's not that American workers are making too much.....it's that American business and workers get taxed into oblivion. Our government is great at creating small business.....unfortunately those small businesses are GM, IBM, UAL, Ford.......
