Yes there are EMOTIONS! like for example, I'm sure you've heard,
"They're takin' our jobs."
Well they aren't your jobs and they aren't our jobs. They belong to whoever can offer the best product for the lowest cost. If bloated union workers can't compete with foreign workers then do you think that we should all subsidize them? You apparently do, Williams thinks not, and I agree. I feel no obligation to prop up an inefficient industry with the fruits of my labor. You are welcome to contribute to paying more for the same things if you want to, but most of the rest of us like to make the best economic decisions we can.
bloated union workers? Ok, unions suck. There are barely union jobs any more. I think union membership is what 8-10% now.
So, an American who isn't willing to work for $.17 an hour 12 hours a day 6 days a week with no benefits, no health care, no worker safety, and without a leg iron is bloated.
You are for the race to the bottom. I am too "bloated" I guess to work in a Chinese Prison camp. Silly me. Let's outsource everything to China.
I will thank you to stop trying to tell me what I think -- you've not been right yet, and I have no hopes that you're capable of doing so in the future.
I'm really not interested in what you have to say on this matter, because you are clearly unwilling to consider anything beyond your own opinions ... and your opinions are one-dimensional at best: they do not show any evidence of sustained and serious thought about the full set of issues in play.
