So the slave wages paid by the Commie Chinese had nothing to do with the exodus of Crony Caps to China. Agree about the tax/reg burdens in US but whose GD fault is that? Those 10 million manufacturing jobs exported represent one of the few stepping stones to joining and strengthening the Middle Class, the only group of people capable of defeating the Commie takeover! Look what ‘free’ aka Global Regulated Trade (World Bank, BIS, WTO, G20, etc.) has done. Don’t be trapped in a bogus world view. These are the days of eat or be eaten!
No jobs were exported.
Plants closed because American workers were not competitive on the world market. Had the manufacturing not been moved, the jobs would have been lost because the place went broke.
That happened in England when the textiles industry moved to New England. It happened again when New England was deserted and the textile industry moved to the Carolinas. It is gone from there now for the same reason. Americans just were not competitive.
You speak of jobs as an object. Jobs are labor. Labor is a commodity to be purchased at a competitive rate.
When you begin to think in terms of Chicaps, you will begin the process of enlightenment.
Dwelling in an anomalous past is to live in the dark
Two things are going to have to be done. There are more, but that will have to come after the revolution.
1. Eliminate the corporate income tax.
2. Take a meat axe to all regulatory agencies of the central socialist government.
