As a manufacturer and distributor I would never take my product to China. What I have done is keep things small enough so that I don't have to hire anyone.I also use some automation for the same reason.
When I started I was planning to hire 6 to 10 full time workers. What I found out was by the time the taxes and OSHA were done with me I could no longer compete on the world market.
Get our government reigned in before its too late.
We have socialists all through it bent on destroying American business.

If you had hired 10 workers you would have made a bundle for the government via their personal income taxes. The government should reward employers that create taxpayers, not burden employers with taxes, penalties, and legal liabilities. I think a 3 percent cut of the tax revenues generated would be fair, and would go a long way towards stopping the flow of American jobs to China and India. Employment is the only area of business where businesses lose money for making someone else huge amounts. It doesn't make sense.
Machines don't pay any taxes. Why does our government reward business for employing machines and tax them for hiring people?
