"Dilbert" is closer to the real world of corporate America than "Atlas Shrugged".

Mayhaps be, but the solution presented in the post in question sounded just like the one used by the government when all the businessmen started fleeing to Gault's Gulch.

BTW Atlas Shrugged was a philosophy wrapped in a novel. Further I find it interesting that the plot of the book is so close to today’s business climate in America. Rand may have been loony but she was a genius as well!

I agree with you that we shouldn't force companies to stay here, but the feds can make it a lot more attractive by (this is a highly condensed version of Harpseal's points):
a) lowering our internal taxes
b) raising our tariffs to either equal that revenue offset, or makeup up for foreign government's socialism.

Its not fair asking the American worker, with all his tax and various costs of living, to compete with someone whose government supplies a lot more and doesn't have the same cost of living.
