Transportation costs and unstable foreign countries cancel out the higher labor costs unless a union is involved here.

Unreasonable union work rules drive away jobs regardless of wages.

Bingo!

Nonsense. IT workers were not unionized. R&D worker were not unionized. Financial services workers were not unionized. None of those require transportation costs. And a lot of the manufacturing jobs in areas like textiles and furniture were not unionized either. It's dollars and cents paid in salaries, period.

All of that can be done electronically anywhere, yup they are screwed.

I did not say that it was a good idea.
Only that it would likely win an election.

[Dead Corpse]

I didn't want to misconstrue your position. Hence my request for clarification...

Thank you.
