When the owners decided to spend their capital building more modern factories in foreign countries,
The companies didn't leave the states to modernize their foreign factories. They left because the union workers demanded to be paid $30/hr to turn a wrench. That, my friend, is why the fore mentioned cities are now called, "The Rust Capitol".
I've been to those cities who still use union labor exclusively. It took me 18 hours to get a truck unloaded because of all the breaks and union BS. Not because of the owners. The company I hauled for had to pay an extra $430 just for my detention time due to the laziness of the "Made in the USA" union workers. Finally, their wonderful work and pension plans add approximately $3800 to the cost of a new car. And you want to blame the Owners of the companies? Don't you think that cost is past on to us?
Like I said, spin it as you please while the workers change shifts in Mississippi at the new Toyota and Nissan plants while making a decent and reasonable wage.
Did you forget to say: “Please”?
