What do they care about 2%?

How much should a pair of $15 Dollar pants cost? If I'm just buying a pair of knockabout cargo pants for hiking or working in the yard?

Let's see Target at $15, Cabella's at $29.99 plus shipping or Sears at $32.

When you put your item on a shelf it has to sell before you can make a profit.

You have to balance quality vs price. Sink too much quality into a product and nobody will buy it.

Taxes come off the top - Companies do not pay taxes - the cost is passed on to the consumer in the price of the product or made up for in fired/layed off workers.
