I wonder what the author thinks about tariffs?
What about entrepreneurs who’d rather not invest their own countrymen but just move to another land (or outsource)?
It’s a different issue I know, but I’d like to know what he thinks.
Regarding your question about the entrepreneur who wishes to have the benefits of living in a First World society while helping to drive its wages down to Third World levels, he or she ought to be free to move his or her sorry, parasitic ass overseas.
What about entrepreneurs who need basic materials and finished goods to make their products, but discover that thanks to unions and Leftist regulations those materials and goods are no longer produced in the United States?
What about entrepreneurs who are able to make their entire product line in the United States, but who discover that Asian competitors have slightly inferior versions already on US store shelves at approximately one quarter the price they can be produced for domestically?
What about entrepreneurs who can only produce certain products economically overseas (unless they hire illegals), but who know that by doing so they can still create many jobs for Americans involving sales and distribution of their products?
1982 is long gone. There was a time when the decision was about "investing in one's own countrymen" - but today's entrepreneurs had many of those options permanently taken away from them by the BigCorp/BigGov coalition, long ago. It is to their credit that so many are still in the battle and fighting, even if Democrats have strangled many of the Acme Widget Companies that they once might have used to manufacture products right down the road.
