I am very thankful for the companies we have left and buy products made in the usa when possible, I am a big label reader but its getting more difficult as time goes on. between legal costs the various government regulations that pertain to employers of 50 or more, taxes , higher wages, etc. its a wonder that any of them can stay in business at all. its hard to compete against low wage workers , no envromental regulation,communist country owned factories . IS THIS WHAT WE CALL FAIR TRADE? DO WE HAVE TO LOWER OUR STANDARD OF LIVING TO THERES TO COMPETE? HIGHER TAXES AND CARBON CAP AND TRADE OR ANY CARBON TAX OF ANY KIND WILL BE THE FINAL NAIL IN THE COFFIN TO MANUFACTURING OF ANY KIND IN THIS COUNTRY!! :shock: :shock:
