When companies move offshore, it’s because the grass is greener on the other side. So we should make our grass greener.

Yeah, sure.

Cut average compensation to 40 cents an hour.

Throw people out of their houses, make them live in squats and bathe in ditchwater. Let them drink from hoses.

Best of all, make them compete with prison labor gangs, just like America in the Good Old Days, when Mrs. Vanderbilt passed out sapphires and rubies in her dinner salads and soups, as party favors.

Milton Friedman said it, so I think there might be some merit to the idea, that without labor syndicalism in America, there would never have been either a mass middle class nor a consumer economy -- the literal envy of the human race.

I think you completely misinterpreted what I was talking about.
