You Willie Green people NEVER take into account the humongous U.S. tax burden or the lunatic environmental and zoning regulations that force companies to go overseas.

I guess you didn't read the post. I voted for Bush in hopes of reform. There has been none. He has grown government however.

Add to this the out of control litigation here in the states, and we have a business unfriendly environment.

The same reason business is fleeing California.

So labor's cheaper overseas because life is cheaper overseas--err, I mean because the cost of living is cheaper overseas?

Funny thing is I recently learned that American companies sell medicine to third world countries for less than those companies sell those same medicines to America.

And so every time an American worker buys a pill, he is subsidizing the very same low cost of living in other countries that is costing him his job . . .

This week I learn that American publishers sell textbooks to the Third World for less than they sell those same books to American students.

And so American students are subsidizing the low cost of living in the Third World, every time an American kid pays more for a textbook.

Once again, Americans subsidize the low cost of living in the Third World.

I wonder in how many other ways American workers are unwittingly subsidizing the low cost of living in countries that are stealing American jobs?
