Why do you feel that way. Seems silly for a Conservative. Do you think you own private businesses. If you want to keep business in the USA then you must quit putting onerous burdens on them. They are fee to flee. After all we are not a police state YET. If you owned a company would you not also leave. Give me a break. Tax and regulate a business to death as we are doing and you get what you deserve. Add to that our sue free people and there flows business out of the country. Same as any Socialist hell hole.

Do you think you own private businesses. . . . They are free to flee.

Don't know how he'll answer but I'm scratching my head wondering what side of choice you don't understand.

Sure, they can choose to flee. That's what they did. Now, I choose not to buy anymore of their products.

If you owned a company would you not also leave.

Wael, no.

You’re exactly right! Artificially high sugar prices which is one of if not the biggest expense they have and you wonder why they leave. It ain’t rocket science. Our chickens are coming home to roost.

Yep. Patriotism’s for saps.

"Why do you feel that way."

The last thing you should be expecting is Americans favoring trans-national corporations who think nothing of their employees.

"If you want to keep business in the USA then you must quit putting onerous burdens on them. They are fee to flee."

When the USA dramatically lowers wages to that of the lowest competitor, then business will return.

BUMP what you said.
The article doesn’t mention anything about unions. I wonder what that forklift operator is making?
I wonder what those “pay and benefits” are that will be difficult to find nearby?

If you want to keep business in the USA then you must quit putting onerous burdens on them...Tax and regulate a business to death as we are doing and you get what you deserve. Add to that our sue free people and there flows business out of the country. Same as any Socialist hell hole.

Excellent point!

When these businesses leaving America for other countries have their businesses nationalized and their property confiscated, I am going to laugh SO HARD.

It can't happen quick enough to suit me.

Maybe some of the animosity towards the companies that are fleeing with "our" jobs, is that instead of banding together to fight the powers that are adding the regulation and taxation, they turn-tail and run for the border...leaving thousands (in some cases) JOBLESS.

The Jobless are left here to fend on their own so companies like Hershey's can save a few peso's by hiring Pedro.

Yet the illegals keep scurrying across the border in search of jobs we are sending to them. Go figure.

If this keeps up, there has to come a point when there will be no one left here with enough income to buy the products the companies that have moved offshore can produce.

We can do without Hershey's chocolate a lot better than Hershey can do without American CUSTOMERS. Just boycott the stuff...it worked with the French and their wine. Just start the rumor that the conditions in Monterey are "unsanitary", at best...that should do it.

And, don’t forget the Workmen’s Comp prices that are out the roof. Workmen’s Comp alone would keep one employee busy just taking the complaints.
