My point is that government stupidity is not the only reason that American companies want to manufacture overseas. Sometimes unions play a role.

I agree with that. Sometimes, they just demand more than the jobs are worth. But, we have much larger problems than wages. Huge profitability bonuses, and stock options, are really creating a disaster. Instead of looking at long-term success (as the foreign manufacturers who locate here are doing), we have CEO's literally destroying companies for short-term gain. It's stunning...I don't know what else to say.
