“Until you do one of those two things, I dont’ see any cred on this issue. I’ve never employed anyone over seas, but I’ve employed thousands of people in my lifetime, and I can easily see why jobs leave. I really do not think you understand why they do.”
I’ve enjoyed your book very much, as well as many of your posts. And I certainly also understand WHY jobs leave.
Where we part company is that I think off shoring labor should either be illegal or heavily taxed.
The deteriorating economic, social, and spiritual condition of our middle 3/5 is accelerating, and will destroy our society if not reversed. Men need work. Without work, they become essentially worthless and prey to many vices.
The plague that destroyed Detroit, Camden, and so many other cities is beginning to devour whites as well. When the condition of men on the middle 3/5 equals that of the men of Detroit, the nation will be unlivable.
I know all about the unions and the regulations. But they are a lesser evil than the future that globalization is going to deliver.
Sorry to disagree with someone who can write the way you do.
Thanks for your kind words.
Now where we part company is on “globalization.” Saying that globalization is costing American jobs is like saying that oxygen is costing jobs. America cannot stop globalization. We either participate, or we all lose. Another place we part company is on what will or will not cost American jobs on net. Again, the jobs lost to off shoring are obvious and can be counted by name. The jobs gained by more freedom are not namable.....but it comes down to this: you either believe that decisions made in self interests by millions of people in liberty is the best way to allocate resources, or you believe that bureaucrats in Washington can somehow hit the secret sauce recipe of centrally planned winners and losers, tariffs, taxes ,etc.
I’m sorry. I don’t think the central secret sauce has ever worked in history.
You get it!
