Businesses moved from North US to South US to Mexico and now to China. China is winning the war and will be the superpower in the future.

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. They are moving offshore now for the same reasons. The Evironmental Wackos, along with their 800 pound gorrilla, the US Government, have made it almost impossible for corporations to make a profit, and if they do, Teddy Kennedy, et.al., wants to take it away! Case in point: California is practially dying for more electric power. How many power plants have been built in California? How long does it take to get the necessary "permission" from everybody at the EPA down to the local nosepicker behind the desk who makes things difficult, simply because he can! California is IMPORTING electricy from plants built by US companies, in MEXICO! I'm sure it's the same story for any other corporation that wants to expand, modernize, even move across the street!

The bureaucrats only have to look in the mirror to find the problem, but they won't admit it. In the meantime, we have this lovely, misquito infested swamp (wetland), with 150 known endangered species living in it.............

Yes....plus coporate CEO greed. Jack Welch needed that $6000 shower curtain.

Yea, those pesky regulations are really an impediment. The ones about fire extinguishers, clean water, lighted exit signs, safe electrical wiring, dust-exhausting fans, child labor rules, drug-free workplaces, hand-rails, construction safety harnesses, indoor plumbing and sanitation, building codes, asbestos insulation etc are something America should get rid of to compete with countries where people live in cardboard boxes and sh** in the street but work really cheap.

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...

Perhaps this has already been asked and answered in this thread, but explain exactly how Amercian companies will compete with Chinese companies that pay their workers pennies an hour. Will you work for that, and if so how will you survive? Would like to live like the average Chinese worker?
