Wait until the Chinese start setting up low-wage factories in America - then the rhetoric will change.
Chinese manufacturers are already moving into Mexico - Foxconn (Taiwan) is in Juarez. Foxconn has a record of employee mistreatment and have installed suicide-prevention netting in some Asian plants.
"Three months ago we covered a riot at one of the Foxconn factories in Juarez. It happened after workers said managers locked 3-thousand employees in the factory so they would work extra hours.
Juarez employees are treated as expendable and forced to work long hours and put in a lot of overtime. He says nothing illegal is being done by the company, but he says the company knows how bad Mexican employees need their jobs. "
Well no one is stopping you from writing a check to the USG and mailing it in. I'm sure Uncle Sam won't refuse your money.

I think all taxes should be much MUCH higher in the U.S. for corporations, who don't pay any. I also think our tax money should be spent on investing in PEOPLE who need it. I also don't mind paying extra taxes so everyone can have health care and higher education.
I have picked up the tab for people in line when I can afford it, and there really isn't anything "bad" you can say against me for wanting to share what I have with other people. It just makes you look selfish.

Still, what you want would lead to further inflation.
No, it would lead to a better society. That benefits EVERYONE.

Nothing is stopping the libs from using their money to form Utopia.
Why complain about working for the man when you can become the man yourself ?
People do that on a regular basis. This is a moot point.
