I think you understand it well enough once again to attempt twisting it like you've tried to turn everything else on me and make it my fault that I'm losing my job and trying to make me into a bad guy for protesting.
If this is true then the US government must make the same restrictions on foreign companies in order to do business here because it has to ensure a level playing field.
Yes, I would accept that axiomatically as an ethical consequence. But, probably not in the manner you're trying to shape the argument into. Show me a company that has created jobs in the US to sell products in their home country in order to do an endrun around their own system. You won't find it. You won't find it because the US cost of living is pretty much higher than anyplace else on the planet. And I've already responded to this point several times in this thread - including in the letter which you appear not to have read. So, you can save the argument that Isuzu, honda et al would have to close up shop and go home. They are producing product for this market in this market by the laws, rules, rights and wage standards of this market. It is only US companies that are running to other countries to do an endrun around our system claiming they can't produce products here. Other countries aren't having any problem of it. And Japan is a prime example!!
I can understand your anger but please stop the insults, they don't help you or me.
Go back and read what you accuse me of, how you've twisted the situation and blamed me and then you tell me about insults. I'm neither blind nor stupid. If you wish to insult me, expect to get it back. I can talk amicably and deal with intelligent questions; but, when you guys turn me into a bad guy for protesting the loss of my job - that is just sick and reprehensible and it's why others are pointing it out as well. I don't want to see Bush lose in the fall; but, if you guys with your attitudes were put on display before the public the way you have cross-examined and accused me today - Kerry would win in a walk and we'd lose both houses. I do not want that; but, you're type just can't help but be the way you are. And when people see it, we'll be screwed. And I'm sorry; but, it's bad enough ya'll are screwing me let alone yourselves and everyone else.
Then you know nothing of the world. Japan's costs of living are VASTLY higher than the U.S.
A simple taxicab ride in Tokyo costs $200.
Real estate in Japan, Hong Kong, Tehran, and Moscow are all VASTLY higher than anywhere (even San Francisco and New York) in the U.S. even though their average salaries are all lower.
Nope. It costs more to live in Hong Kong than in the U.S. Ditto for Japan, Moscow, and a host of other places.
