Dobbs seems to do a good job of keeping track of this corporate betrayal problem.

..granted, Lou Dobbs has helped keep the issue alive, but the narcotic of being in the public eye can mutate into demagoguery in a flash--the messenger transforms into the message--Perot did the same thing...

Most of American workers vote for the Democraps. These voters are jealouse and envious of any success by others. They hate capitalism, the engine that creates jobs (money to pay mortgages). Read what the Democraps and the media say about Halliburton Oil. If I were Haliburton I would not tolerate the abuse for very long.

Good article. Free trade is not free after all.

Your comment about free trade reminded me of a W.C. Fields line in a movie and it may apply in a parallel manner:

Fields was seated at an improvised poker table on a train and was shuffling cards. Another passenger walking by says "Oh...a game of chance?" and Fields replies "Not the way I play it".

The problem goes way beyond this list. And for many more years than anyone can fathom.

Was Perot "wrong" in his approach, or his message?

..some of what he said was accurate, but he was the wrong person to lead any kind of political party or movement.

Exporting America." These are U.S. companies either sending American jobs overseas, or choosing to employ cheap overseas labor, instead of American workers.

Lou Dobbs and the other MSM Hacks and Congress critters who for the most part have never had to put up their own money and then work like hell to keep it have no idea what the real problem is in sending jobs overseas.

Labor is only a small part of the crisis. The EPA, EEOC, OSHA, Taxes, Federal regulations, Local regulations, Lawyers out of control, ecologists, make doing business in the United States a nightmare. The Disabilities act is an example, a noble effort but makes no sense when you look at it honestly but puts a huge burden on business. Regardless what the Liberals think, these businesses ain't going overseas just due to labor costs. Especially the Lawyer problem, loser pays would help a lot.

Lou and his Liberal pals are killing the goose that is laying the Golden Eggs.

Equality is great but not when we are all equally poor.

Good points. Not many Americans are aware of the artificial costs of employment forced on companies.

Some are good policy /civic standards of reasonable health/safety, and not dumping pollution/externality costs onto one's neighbors. Others like some you cite, are evidence of a degenerately litigious culture, where public employees aren't sufficiently accountable.

Lou Dobbs is a Michael Savage protectionist. He may be smart when it comes to trespassing the border, but he sure is not a capitalist. He is against tax cuts and free trade, in my book he has morphed into a socialist while he has been working at CNN so long.

There is something you're missing. Outsourcing foreign labor and illegal immigration are opposite sides of the same coin. Their purposes and results are the same, in spite of the fact they come from different sources.
