I’m afraid I agree more with agere_contra’s point of view. The major stumbling block to our manufacturing capabilities is the massive tax and regulatory burden we place on them. Crashing the service economy by raising the prices of every thing we import would not suddenly make manufacturing in the United States profitable.
From what I can tell the Business Schools are releasing Anti - American goBULLists on our economy. Eliminating ALL regulations and taxes in the manufacturing sector wouldn't slow this suicidal charge of off shoring to slavery...
The massive tax and regulatory burden is used by OUR government to control US people. When people start going hungry they’ll revolt or they’ll die. Either way it will be good for the nation.
