America is no longer a basic manufacturing-based society. Minimum wage laws, unions, child labor laws, OSHA, workers rights and Asian countries ignoring all of those items have assured that.

Wages and insurance are far too expensive here to maintain decent margins to compete effectively, then add in Unions to further increase those costs significantly further while reducing flexibility.

You think the average Chinese factory worker gets scheduled raises based on seniority as opposed to merit?
