<p>[quote user="wallyworld"]Tax benefits, enviromental concessions and a general lower standard of living reflected in the wages, and working conditions make this to my way of thinking, largely a throwback or continuation of Robber Baron exploitation. They can't get away with that nonsense here so they moved it over there..[/quote]</p><p> </p><p>Good point, exploitatively low wages are not the sole motive, I'll conceed. </p><p> Avoidance of enviro regs, and being able to escape affirmative action, (and the whole "alledge discrimination as a tool to guide ones career path" mentality) certainly play a part.</p><p>I think that what the discussion of tariffs vs no tariffs actually boils down to, is one of dividends versus wages.</p><p> I personally doubt that this nation will do the smart thing, because the "dividend lobby" seems to have this government bought and paid for.Meaning wage earners in this country will continue to take it on the chin<br /> </p><p> But eventually it will come back and bite them in the cushion duster.</p><p> </p>
