Nope, but it's all part of the corporate game, and as long as more people are making less, why would they pay more for cheap Chinese items at eBay at a high shipping cost from American sellers when they can get it shipped free from China, thanks to Chinese government shipping subsidies, or Amazon, thanks to tax benefits? Walmart killed all the mom and pop shops, Amazon is killing eBay and retail stores, including Walmart, and someday, Amazon will sink too.
The only ways we can stop corporations from screwing us over is by changing our spending habits and voting for the right politicians. As individuals, we can do little to contribute, but politicians can make tremendous change in the entire system. We can also collectively pay a little extra to help the American economy and Americans, but we all know that that won't ever happen. We like our cheap stuff.
