Yeah, they are inexpensive and while they cannot be blamed for the disintegration of the middle class; they and companies like them play the biggest role in sending jobs to other countries.
That sounds like every other retailer to me.

At least they are selling their products cheaply and not like the so called luxury brands that employ the same tactics except selling things cheaply and generally only benefit the designer and/or shareholders.
