It is my opinion that it is not the hight cost of labor that is sending jobs out of country. There are countless 'hidden' taxes placed on companies doing business here in the United States. OHSA is a major form of taxation. I work for a company that has had to do ridicules amounts of guarding just to meet guidlines. Sometimes spending 25 to 30K on ONE machine in a production line. Companies must hold monthly saftey meeting just to prove they are trying to teach their employees not to be stupid. The paper trail one must maintain just to prove you are not dicriminatory in your hiring practices is crazy dumb, forcing corporations to hire extra people to just deal with the paper trail.
These things are just the tip of the iceburg for hidden costs. The more we expect the government to 'protect' us, the more it will cost to run a company here in the US, and the more corps will move their manufacturing out of country. Taxing the rich to help the poor will long term create more poor to help. Yes, there is a difference in parties. Policies are what drive compainies away, not wages. Duane W.
