Quote:When you factor in the high regulatory cost, the union cost, and the cost of living here, it will never be cost effective to manufacture 90% off products here. If anything you'll have a system of robots manufacturing products here with minimal employees. Why are we advocating using government to increase cost of goods to make a more fair market!? Has conservatism lost its mind?????

 

Because, again, the free market cannot compete with a rigged market. You cannot, ever, no matter what you do, drive your own expenses lower than a country that uses slave labor. The ONLY method to bring them into line is to artificially inflate their products in your market so that your people buy your products and keep your country financially healthy. Because let's face it, the Free [BLEEP] Army ain't gonna buy American just to be patriotic.
