Did Mr. Bartlett take into consideration that the new holders of all these jobs Americans used to have don't pay US income taxes, US property taxes, sales taxes, or any US taxes at all?

Did he consider, while he was immersed in all the good these gone jobs do that the new workers in foreign countries don't:

Go to US restaurants
Take their cars to US auto repair shops
Take their clothes to US cleaners
Buy groceries from US supermarkets
But auto parts from US auto parts stores
Buy their clothes in US clothing stores
Buy property form US sellers
Rent housing from US landlords
Buy materials from US building supply stores
Have their furniture rehupostered by US upholsters
Buy their autos from US dealerships and car lots
Pay for licenses and car tags from state offices
Buy gas and oil from US filling stations
Go to movies, and games in US theaters and arenas
Buy US postage stamps/products from US post offices
Ship their packages using US FED Express or UPS?

Surely he didn't forget all this, did he?

If that was the case, all of these "lost" tax payments would show-up in government revenue figures. And they're not.
