[QUOTE="Nraman, post: 1618408, member: 10001"] Intel recently opened up a new billion dollar chip factory in Vietnam (computer chips are not potato chips as Perot noted). If the corporate tax rate was lower and regulations relaxed, it would still pay for Intel to make the chips there and pay really low wages. The way I see it, to compete in "fair and free trade" we would have to allow our standard of living to go down to the level of the Chinese, Indians etc. I understand and agree that there are more factors involved than just trade, IMHO even if all these factors didn't exist, paying Americans is more expensive and will stay that way till we slide to their level. Do we want that? [/QUOTE]
