“US industry has been driven out from America as if by an Angel with a flaming sword”
Not driven out, but cheerfully abandoned America. And the “angel with a flaming” sword was the understandable urge by CEOs to make as much money as possible, even if that meant moving to some Fourth World dump where workers could be paid almost nothing and refuse could be dumped almost anywhere. And if that meant the American worker got screwed in the process, then that was his tough luck.
>>Not driven out, but cheerfully abandoned America.<<
No, driven out — you think they WANTED to move? It is a big mess, a huge hassle and has its own set of complexities and costs.
The liberals with such insanity as Living Wage jobs and bureaucratic hoops not imagined in Dante’s Inferno forced them out.

Come close, I wanna tell you something — no, closer. Now get a pen and write this down: THAT IS THEIR JOB!!!!!!!!!!

Do you really think CEOs cheerfully abandoned America? Sure. That must be it. CEOs want to ruin their homeland, the place where they raise their families, just to make a buck. It can’t possibly have anything to do with trying to survive in a competitive world. Maybe we should have laws that prevent companies from moving, and laws that confiscate money when it’s moved overseas, and even more laws that force companies to pay unskilled labor generous wages (enough to raise a family) regardless of the work performed or the employee’s value to the company.
