State of the Wood Burning Industry

They certainly do. I was referring to the cost of government built into manufacturing here.


They have to... because the cost of living here is higher.

Their higher wages are also built into the cost of the stoves as well as the cost of government which is built into the cost of manufacturing... just like the cost of government is built into every other product as well as every service purchased by consumers.

Still not explaining how englander makes better stoves here at the same price point

I enjoy messing around with my stoves.

Same here.

The real answer is obvious.

Those countries with the largest bureaucracies are desired most by people who failed to govern themselves.

But the fact stands that the countries with the highest standards of living have larger governments and more regulations.

Also are you going to explain to us how you became prosporous in the US all by yourself with no help from anyone or anything?

Heading off into the weeds here folks.

Who is "us"?

Yes, I'll explain... but just briefly because as begreen said, this has headed ~way~ off topic.

Not from anyone or from anything... just with no help from the government. Instead of going into debt for a government education I apprenticed with an independent private sector contractor, then I started my own business from scratch. My net worth is seven figures and zero debt.

What government education? I didnt go into debt for my education either i had a full ride. I started a cabinetry company that i built up for 14 years untill my father needed help. I sold that buisness and partnered with my father. But guess what i went to public school. I drive on public roads i have benifitted in many many ways from our government. And so have you. So dont act all high and mighty we are not all up to our teeth in debt.

Right, built a business without help from any govt. $$, except for the roads that were driven on, the postal service that delivered bills, parts and contracts, the police and firemen the protected assets, the schools that educated the workers, the garbage that went to the county landfill, the safe water that was available and blah blah blah. This is ash can territory, but the ash can is gone so zipping this one up.
