I love that you guys think the government can fix the "fair trade" problem or the outsourcing problem. Government will always lose to the corporations. And if the government ever wins the collateral damage will hurt far more of the little people than will be helped.

You socialist leaning types need to get the evil corporations on your side.

Government regulation is most often used as a corporate tool. Whether it is public pork, the protection or recognition of assets, or in the creation of entire markets, it is businesses which seek out government intervention. Where would the insurance industry be without mandatory liability coverage? Where would the Banking industry without FDIC? Where would our housing industry be without Fannie Mae and Ginie Mae? Or, our medical/pharmaceuticals business without Medicaid and Medicare?

If there be socialist then look for them in the Boardrooms rather then the production floor. Workers are not asking for a handout, they are not claiming ownership over jobs, and they do not want your property. All they want is the opportunity to market their skills; something which cannot be realistically done when the relevant jobs are located beyond their reach.
