“We want to reward people who manufacture things in the United States, in Wisconsin, not to take them overseas to China and to other countries!”

Every time the DemonRATs track out this mantra, the GOP would be wise to track out all the failed RAT policies which drive manufacturing jobs overseas. Here are just a few:

1. Card check/forced unionism.
   
2. Cap and trade.
   
3. OSHA and EPA regulations which have little to do with improving safety and health and everything to do with raising costs and penalizing employers.
   
4. The litigious environment which forces business to hire and prevents them from firing nonproductive slugs if they happen to be of the correct group.
   
5. A corporate income tax which is the second highest in the world. Japan has us beat, but is so lenient in what they allow companies to deduct as expenses, I have little doubt that our effective rate is the highest in the world.

Freepers may feel free to add to this short list of other idiotic RAT policies which drive our manufacturing overseas.

It would most assuredly take less time to list the things they favor that help business.

Freepers may feel free to add to this short list of other idiotic RAT policies which drive our manufacturing overseas.

Don't forget that manufacturing, in addition to all of those things, has a unique cross to bear: product liability litigation run amok. And who are the tort lawyers best friends? Democrats! Who refuses every proposal to restore some sanity and equity to the situation? Democrats!
