Because on the internet you get replies like this. I have no idea why. You will note though that no "left wingers" bothered to address any of my earlier points.
How does a company making spinning widgets stay competitive when they are forced to give their employee's three weeks vacation but those making spinning widgets in China are paying their employee's a fraction of what the employee is making here and they get no paid vacation or sick days?
Giving employees vacation time increases their quality of work and their efficiency. . Germany has a huge manufacturing base and they give 24 work days + 9 bank holidays of paid vacation. How is Germany so efficient in producing durable goods if they give their employees vacation time?
Even China has guaranteed vacation pay ranging from 5-15 days depending on seniority.

Ah capitalist America. Where people flaunt with pride how much of slave to the system they are, and about how little time they take off as if it's a badge of honor. The rest of the world has its priorities straight at least.

I agree: also, it could boost USA's tourism economy.

Germany has extremely tight regulations on imports. Germany trades almost on par with China. They will not allow the 4 to 1 imbalance we have with China. China buys much of their electronics from Germany, not the U.S. because otherwise Germany would cut off the imports coming in. All something we refuse to do.

That is how Germany deals with it.
There is no correlation between Germany's import tariffs for non-EU countries or Germany's trade balance with China and the issue of vacation time.
Germany, like most industrialized countries, offer paid vacation because it is better for the work force.
this is a totally different issue. It has nothing to with whether or not Americans should be guaranteed holiday time.
Being that you are going out of your way to avoid my question, I think it's pretty clear it is.

If you think its the same issue then show your work. Make an argument that it is. Find an economist that agrees with you.
I did provide an example. You seem to believe that because you think that because people will make more spinning widgets they will be able to compete better. If it costs you more to create them you can build 10 times more of them and it will mean nothing when people are buying the less expensive Chinese version.
