What's sending our jobs to Mexico is the pile of regulations and government control on US businesses, the unreasonable and economically unrealistic demands of Dem-supported union labor, and a tax code that has been developed in a Congress that had been under Dem control for decades.

Bunk. What's sending our jobs overseas is the license to do it granted by Nafta along with the greed of those that can do it. Greed and license. Ya'll just blame it on regulation. When it comes down to it, if you strip all the regulation and the companies stopped paying 5% tax and payed none, they'd still outsource because they can pay a minor fraction of the wages they pay here and exploit workers overseas in ways Americans would never stand for.

My job is non-union labor - as are most of the jobs going overseas. The tax code is screwed up. But, Companies have gotten tax break after tax break to stay in local communities and still bailed. You guys are so stuck on your talking points that you can't deal with the truth. You don't know what it is. These people out here on the street do.
