- terrorislamh.... you still misunderstand the point.
But after your comment, I''ll restate my point in different terms you''ll probably understand.
If I(employers/business) leave, who is going to fund your welfare check? - Reply to this comment

If I(employers/business) leave, who are you going to work for?
The point is perhaps we should look a ways to keep employers in the U.S. by reducing all the bureaucratic krap they are currently forced to support and endure. - Reply to this comment

- Hmmm... Let''s see to hire a U.S. worker I''m going to have to pay in addition to a livable wage an additional 15.7 % for FICA plus an average marginal federal tax rate of 25.3% plus an average state income marginal tax rate of 15% plus health insurance plus a 401k contribution and fund administrative costs plus a workmen''s compensation insurance premimum plus state unemployment compensation plus.........etc...
And I need to hire someone else to file income tax withholding, issue w-2''s, produce quarterly 401k statements......etc...
Or I can just hire out of the U.S., just write a check and save 75% in labor costs!
Guess what I''m going to do! - Reply to this comment

Seems democracy is pay taxes 4 everything, get nothing in return & pay more than necessary for things? seems to me it is far more like SLAVERY!

- Maybe if all of the farmers offered American wages you wouldn''t have "so much trouble finding workers". So raise you prices to cover it, everyone else is.

"Communism does not have capitalism....."
Well, I disagree but it does not matter since China is sure getting richer and America is sure getting poorer. And nothing you can do about it buddy. - Reply to this comment
