Actually a pretty strong case could be made (by someone), that it is liability lawyers, which have caused American jobs to flee offshore.
Price is one reason, certainly. But we are far, and away, the most litigious nation on Earth.
Businesses face increasing liability nightmares every day.
Now granted, if the Republican party cannot even make a good succinct public case discrediting the Democrat party mantra about Iraq, it probably cannot make the case against trial lawyers — but trial lawyers really are the problem.
We so very much need another Republican leader who can TALK. Someone who can state simple truths in such a way as to influence opinion.
Then we need that leader to explain to Americans, why we need to free our shrinking industrial base, from the hide-bound regulations and legal mess. Limiting liability, especially for any company either starting-up, or competing with any foreign supplier.
Including the foreign supplier Wal-mart.
liability lawyers and regulators and legislators .. you left out the regulators and legislators who write the laws and regs that give the lawyers grounds for suits. Pretty cyclical, isn’t it ?
