When America allows imports into this country which America still makes with workers who are paid a living wage and benefits, don't you realize your allowing the destruction of an American industry by workers whom America CAN"T and never will be able to match. Do we in America WANT to live in a shanty one room hut, with NO running water or toilet facilities so we can MATCH these third world countries life style !! Wouldn't it be better to PROTECT our industries and penalize Companies who would by their actions place American industry at risk ?? Amnesty You have to start thinking OUTSIDE THE BOX !! Big Business LOVES GREED AND PROFIT !! When they KILL the American market,because Americans will no longer be able to afford their imports,,they will simply follow the NEW MARKETS..Its got NOTHING to do with govt taxing them. THEY OWN THE GOVT ! They've bought it with their lobbyists!! Why cant you see that ?? They deregulate themselves and do what they want and the MISFIT TALK SHOW MILLIONAIRES give you their talking points for you to embrace !! GET IT YET?? Every time Big Business closes a mfg plant in America for a Foreign substitute, America becomes weaker and more vuneralbe. We lost most of the mfg plants and products in regard to Appliances and heavy production machinery. Do you realize if we lose the auto industries and the engine and airplane industries mfg, we will have to depend on foreign powers to even HAVE weapons for defense !! Isn't that not only scary,,but down right dangerous for America to put herself in that position ??And Big Business is taking America down that path !!

Maybe your gov should have thought of that before they taxed the corporations out of this country. Corporations merely respond to the laws that Big Gov makes - I always find it amusing that Liberals blame everything and everyone except Big Gov - hilarious!

There are no simple answers to complicated problems and people who tell you there is, do not have a clue about economics. $.22 is in US dollars but workers in other countries are not paid in US currency but in there own, and it is the exchange rate that determine what it is in $. It is the strong dollar that makes Industry in American unable to compete with Industries in poor countries but since American workers produce more in an hour the dollar would not have to fall very much to solve the problem. Part of the reason for the strength of the dollar is that our government runs large deficits attracting foreign investors who buy our bonds so tax cuts that increase the deficit make our industries less competitive. However weaker dollar would make imports more expensive here and since we import most of our oil, we would not be happy about gas prices increases this would cause.
