I can think of a few really compelling reasons as to why a business would NOT want to manufacture in the US....

Unions
Taxes
EPA regulations
OSHA regulations
EEOC regulations
Poor education system
Entitlement mentality
Broken Tort legal system

There’s plenty more, these are just the ones that come to mind immediately. And they all center around our government. Government is the cause of the demise of our country, not free trade, not competition from abroad. Our government’s meddling has made it near impossible to compete with the world and we are now reaping what we’ve sewn for so many years.

Get government off our backs and out of our wallets and you’ll see America flourish again.

I don't like it and you don't like it but we actually DO live in a welfare state. You have to accept that reality even if you don't like it.

If a doctor tells you you have cancer you wouldn't like that either. If the doctor says "well we can euthanize you and that will cure the cancer" you would naturally look at him like he was crazy, right?

Well, the country has cancer it is called socialism and off-shoring is like killing the patient instead of trying to cure the cancer.
