Good for him. Now what we need is an import tariff to help all US manufacting. No subsidies and no tax breaks just a tariff.

Like Donald Trump of the 1990's, Kayne has evolved politically. Possibly as Reagan once famously said he didn't leave the democrat party, the democrat party left him.

NO HE WON’T. He will have to pay the going rate for labor and not set wages like most misguided American management.

While I appreciate his desire to manufacture in the US, I’m not sure I’d start with the Garment industry.

It’s hard to even get material in the US these days at prices that sewing your own worth while.

It makes more sense to have garment industries closer to the supply of raw materials and in locations with cheap labor.

Is the way to do that to use illegal workers and pay them $4.00/hour?

He seems to have grown up a bit.

He’s a smart, if weird, guy. I hold out hope.

Too funny. Textiles is a labor intensive industry. Americans will not do that work. They moved out a long time ago.
