Well, yes.
But why can a Mexican in Mexico work for $4 an hour?
Because he doesn't need all the regulation, the expense, and so forth that our govt puts upon the workers, same as it does upon the companies.
So its all the same circle. Its still the govt regulations that drive up the cost of living or the cost of production.
Does Mexico force its citizens to have certain toilets, light bulbs, smoke detectors in their bedrooms, so and so much insulation, and on and on? Mind you these individual issues might be good or bad; but in either case they ratchet up the cost of living. How about education, I USA has the govt loans they saddle on most high school graduates, free money for education until you graduate, then we hand a 1/4 million dollar debt around your neck because its all good free money for the universities. But it raises the cost of living, while subsidizing the universities. Does Mexico do that?
And if my cost of living goes up, then I need a higher paying job.
Taxes on my farm are approaching $50 an acre, where we have good weather or bad, high or low crop prices. Does Mexico have that sort of cost on its land owners?
Tomato, tamatoe.
Govt regulation and largesse upon corporations and or citizens is the same, it raises the costs above sustainability within our country.
We have to buy goods made in other countries, we can't afford the bills for all that govt regulation and extras.
No point in arguing if it falls on workers or falls on large corporations, it is the same dang deal and it kills our economy the same.

Today's Featured Article - The Nuts and Bolts of Fasteners - Part 2 - by Curtis Von Fange. In our previous article we discussed capscrews, bolts, and nuts along with their relative hardness and thread sizes. In this segment we will finish up on our fasteners and then work with ways to keep them from loosening up in the field. Capscrews, bolts and nuts are not the only means of holding two parts together. When dealing with thinner metals like sheet tin, a long bolt and
