Please see post 79. And Also I would like to add that American steel producers have never had the the profit levels becuase of the massive flood of US financed foriegn imports of steel to build the modern plant they needed to.

Without the US government financed International Socialism they gould have built newer plants and saved hundreds of thousand of high-paying jobs.

But as though that's not enough the US government has went all-out since the seventies to destroy them via EPA, OSHA and other regulations, fines, taxes etc.

With the all-out assault waged against the US steel producers by the US government and foreign governments it is amazing that any are still in business. Thank God American workers still have the highest produtivity in the world!!! Bar none!!!
Though many of the Anti-American/tax-Free-Trade-at-any-price-with-China crowd fail to ever admit tha fact....

"Without the US government financed International Socialism "

Unions are socialist.

Socialism is when you get what you think you need, no matter what you produce.

"From each, according to his ability; to each, according to his need" --Kal Marx

When you pay someone more than he/she is worth, becuase of threat of strike, it's socialism.

I agree. None of the same regulations on employee safety, environment, et al apply overseas. Mexico doesn't go by US food dictates when it raised crops for consumption in the US. None of the same water, and insecticide regulations apply. And we calmly go along to get along.
