I believe out government needs to step in, and start protecting American workers.
How is a (big) question, but America cannot continue to operate the way we now do.
Both parties, are selling out our own country. China is very rapidly, about to take the global lead. If they haven’t already.
China is (rapidly) growing.
Yet we continue to blindly just send US jobs to China. We don’t even really own the factories, we are sending our jobs to. Just as minority interests. And the workers are certainly not American.
GOP stand up. Support American jobs.
If you owned a company that made a widget and you had a choice to hire a bunch of hard working people who worked 16 hours a day for $16 a day or you could hire someone who worked 8 hours a day for $16 an hour, plus you had to pay the government $1.12 per hour for Social Security and withhold another $1.12 per hour for the worker to pay his portion of Social Security, and then you had to pay the insurance company $4.00 per hour for Workers Compensation Insurance, and you had to pay 64 cents per hour for unemployment insurance, and you had to pay environmental waste fees on the goods you produced, plus you had to submit your business to dozens of county, city, State, and Federal inspections..... where would you choose to have your widget manufactured?
The only way America can keep these jobs is to lower the wages of Americans down to slave labor wages, or raise a tariff on all imported goods so that everything we buy would cost as much or more than it would cost for the same manufacturer to make it and sell it here.
So unless you are going to propose that solution and go through with it, then you are just whistling past the graveyard.
We need to support American jobs for American workers. Moving our jobs abroad is a problem, but so is replacing American workers with legal immigrants and guest workers. We bring in 1.1 million legal permanent immigrants a year and 640,000 guest workers annually. They are taking American jobs and depressing wages. Where is the outrage about that?
