Its not the “imports” Danny, its the government getting in the way of everything. Even if we COULD buy all American (we can’t, business has no choice but to flee the homeland), how low do you think those prices would go with unions still thriving in this country?
No it's the imports. You can eliminate every government regulation and every government tax, and you still can't compete with Chinese labor that is at 1% the cost of our own.
The reason businesses have no choice to flee the country is not to avoid U.S. government red tape. It's because if your competition starts making use of super cheap foreign labor, you'll soon be out of business.
To be sure, you'll be out of business in a few years anyway when China copies your product. But in the meantime, you'll gain market share, have high profits and can pay yourself high bonuses.
The only choice they have is to flee first and enjoy the bonuses, or go out of business.
