What we need is Congress to get up the balls and pass a bill that says that any company that does the majority of production outside the country is considered a foreign company, irregardless of where the headquarters is located. Then their products will be taxed like all imports. I think this would keep a majority of production in America.

It would be a darned good start! I'm all for it. Any ideas how to get it rolling grass roots? I can email my congressman, but, there is strength in numbers. My opinion alone carries little weight. (Even if I am right!) :)

Hmmm....representng the people instead of the corporations. How novel.

Then Levi's would go under, and so would all the other apparel manufacturers as Joe Public would buy the cheaper Chinese goods. Tariff the Chinese goods you say? Well, they'd still be cheaper, maybe a bit lesser in quality (then again maybe not) but still cheaper. And what happens? All the American apparel comapnies fold and whatever money was coming into America as corporate profit would dry up.

Levis... In 1982, a group of company employees asked senior management for help in increasing awareness of a new and deadly disease affecting their lives. We quickly became a business leader in promoting AIDS awareness and education.

Our federal government funds AIDS research 10x more than they do cancer, heart disease, diabetes, etc. ------------------------------------------------------------- Research on AIDS(a preventable disease) has been much more generously funded by the federal government during the past decade than has research on breast and prostate cancer and other diseases that kill many more people. The sizable payoff from the liberal funding of AIDS research seen in the remarkable progress in cutting deaths from AIDS suggests that greater resources devoted to other diseases will lead to important discoveries. Cancer and heart disease expenditures will be equal to under 5 percent of patient cost, and AIDS research funding will be about 230 percent greater than patient costs this year(Fumento 530). Now we are going GLOBAL...AIDS in Africa.
