Absurd...I will venture a guess that VanHeusen does NOT sell it shirts in Taiwan at the same price it sells to Americans...Now when this company sells it shirts to Americans for what it would have to sell them for in Taiwan, let 'em have at it...In the meantime, we are getting robbed...And losing our jobs to boot...If an American company can not afford to do business in the US with American labor, I'll help them move out...And they can stay out...
This may shock you -- but, I guarantee you, you can buy that same shirt, made in China or Taiwan, more cheaply in American than you can in England, Germany, Panama or Japan or Hong Kong.

What do you want business and government to do about American jobs ?? Hire people they don't need, pay more than they have to for the same labor elsewhere, restrict output, sell only in America, go broke ??
I don't understand what you view the solution to be ?? Where is Walter Williams when we need him ??
