Are these people so foolish to think these people and companies will not
relocate and I mean RIGHT NOW to third world countries to keep their wealth?


Taxes on the rich used to be much, much higher than they are now and
there was no mass relocation to 3rd world countries back then.


So where all the TV set makers here in the US? The Audio manufactures?
The machinery makers such as lathes and mills? Heavy equipment?
Automobiles? Die stamped puzzles? Toys? etc etc etc etc

Why is 50% of American manufacturing...gone to other lands?

In a word "Containerization". Made it cheap to ship stuff from
plant to distribution center. Cheap enough that the plant could be
moved to another country.
