Why do prices have to go up?

Think about what companies have to pay for health insurance for their employees now. My DH and I have had a business for 10 years. Our office rent has gone up about 20%, gas for our cars for our sales people has doubled, our health insurance has tripled. If our prices didn't go up, we would be out of business because we wouldn't make enough money to pay our expenses.

Even though Mattel is saving some money by doing business with China, shipping costs and the fuel associated with shipping has gone up. Health insurance for their American employees has probably gone up significantly.

AG hasn't raised their prices in many years. It is a sad and expected to me that the prices of AG will probably never decrease.
