What's happening now is that the good, well paying jobs that allowed the
middle class to have a high standard of living have been shipped to
Asia. In effect, what American business did was to fire all its high
paid American workers, shut down its American factories and set up again
doing exactly the same business but with Asian workers that they only
paid a few dollars a day. This allowed them to exchange a high paid,
unionized, work force, set up in an ecologically sensitive country, for
a non union work force in a country with no environmental concerns at
all. So what business did is they finally triumphed over American labor.
They did this by firing them all and replacing them with people who
basically work for nothing.

Bull****!!! I have given up on educating you, Hawke. But I do not
want such ignorant thoughts left lying around where other not too
intelligent people read them without a rebuttal.

Your portrayal of the American Business leaves out the real world.
There are thousands of non American Businesses in the real world that
are competing with the American Businesses. Companies as Panasonic,
Siemens, Hyundai, Samsung, Komatsu , Hitachi, Honda, Toyota, Mercedes
Benz, Isuzu, Volkswagen, Toshiba, Volvo, Arcelor Mittal, Zenni
Optical, and thousands more.
It is now a global economy. Container ships and fiber optic
communications have ensured that. The US no longer has a work force
that is better educated than other countries. Four of the top ten
colleges as ranked by US News and World Reports are not US colleges.

So your dumb ass idea is that the American Businesses should continue
to pay wages that are higher than the wages their competitors pay,
and pay more for environmental issues than their competitors, price
their goods and services higher than their competitors, and go out of
business.

You may have gone to college, but they did not teach you to think.
