Industies ARE effective in this country, it is the fact that HUMAN GREED made the company CEO's move to a slave labor run country that makes American Companies no longer able to compete, and you call it rain on my back??

That is why Tarriffs were created centuries ago, to protect your own countrymen. It is free trtade, without boundries, where goods made at wages we cannot compete against that are going to kill us, and you call it morning dew!

You must have never worked at any manufacturing job, because if you did, you would see your cost of living rise, while your wages plummet to the floor in the last 10 years, and with all the offshoring, you calling it rain on my back, that makes me think you are an idiot.

Oh please, if I want to listen to that kind of drivel I'll call upon Ralph Nader.

Corporations exist for one reason and one reason only, to maximize shareholder value, simple as that. If you want the state to manage how corporations are run perhaps you can find yourself a country that is more socialist to your liking.

You nailed it on the head there my friend. I never pursued manufacturing because I knew it was a fickle industry and I wanted a job where I would be paid for what I knew rather than how many widgets I could build in a day. I busted my rear to get myself a college education while working full time, then got a graduate degree and several professional certifications all the while supporting a family and keeping my wife home with the kids. Thanks the President's tax cuts, I'm enjoying a lot more of my money than I had three years ago.

Don't give me your sad-sack stories about those who lost their manufacturing jobs and now have no other recourse but to cry to the government for assistance. Look, here's a bit of news for you, people are responsible for their own situation, crying to the government instead of taking personal responsibility is what gives us liberalism and the wealth transfer programs known as social security, medicare, and welfare.

Perhaps you ought to call the Nader campaign, I hear he's getting his organization set up again.
