You guys got some real good points. It is no longer a level playing field. As we push more and more to Socialism we are only catching up to the other countries that have been in that state for many years. Not really a free market capitalistic venue anymore. Most Govts have been backing there industry for years. I don't care if we don't tax our companies or if we even work for much more than $1.00 an hour we still can't compete very well. We have to have free trade with the countries that have the same or close to the same life style and programs we do. How were we so strong and profitable in the 50's,60's,70's and part of the eighties? We competed then, and the Unions were even stronger in those days. What happened? Its just like people selling musclecars, houses, antiques etc. Some people want to make a living and other people want to make a KILLIN!
Know what Ray, I believe you already knew the answer to the question you were asking.
