Uh, someone needs to explain to Duncan who exactly is off-shoring American industry. It's not China.

The off-shoring is caused by U.S. government policies. Heavy regulation and high taxes. It's easier to get a return on an investment when you don't have to wait for years to build, encumber your factories with all manner of mandated equipment then pay huge taxes on top of all that other interference.

When the socialists in Congress fix their stupid tax and regulation policies, there may be interest in making capital investments in the United States.

I would happily start a business in southeast Idaho, but the state insists on a personal property tax on every non-business physical object on the business premises. Screw that. It certainly explained why so many businesses have such a spartan appearance around here.

Sure, taxes and regulations. Im sure every business man in America would absolutely love it if Americans adopted the developing worlds way of life without a fight. No democracy, no civil rights, no unions, no environmental protection, no privacy laws, no minimum wage, no benefits. Im not about to join the race to the bottom without a fight.
