There is only one reason businesses move, ease of doing business. They moved from Detroit to Smyrna, Tn, because there was no union to haggle with, cheaper labor, and less restrictions about zoning, licences, local regulations, etc.

So what do you propose we do to keep jobs here??? You advocate working for far less cash than you already do...When the job cuts affect you and your's, how much of a pay cut are you willing to take to keep your job here???

Won't be long you'll be changing your name from dirtbiker to roadwalker...

It's long past time to take a chainsaw to the massive federal and state bureaucracies.

They are a significant factor in forcing American companies to take the short-term remedy of moving out of the United States. I say short-term because a nation, like the USA, cannot continue to exist economically when 80% of its jobs are classified as "service" jobs.

Our manufacturing base is practically nil and the service jobs are moving to India and China. Our government encourages this by issuing visas to hundreds of thousands of workers from these countries to come to this country to be trained to perform these jobs.

Unfortunately the American workers doing the training find themselves without jobs once these foreigners have returned to their homeland and begin scheduling Sear's service staff from thousands of miles away!

We won't see a viable political candidate address this issue because there aren't many honest ones available. Only one comes to mind: Congressman Tancredo, the Republican from Colorado.

We're kept so busy reading about other issues that we haven't the time to concentrate on this issue that is paramount to our future.
