"If you move manufacturing from a cheaper country to the US it's just going to shift the burden onto the consumer "
I see. So you want all the manufacturing jobs brought back here, you want them to pay wages that will allow American workers to be comfortable, but you don't want prices to increase. You people like to shift the goalposts around, don't you?

If you are indeed waiting for that, I have great news for you. Wages up, tax rates down. Hard not to like that. Unless your agenda is something other than what you claim that it is, perhaps??
