[QUOTE="Tinbender75, post: 1618678, member: 5217"] The unions are only about 10% of the manufacturing work force. They must be very powerful to run everyone overseas and south of the border. Anyone remember all the jobs Right to Work was supposed to bring? Where are they? I haven't seen any manufacturing plants or much else that wasn't service related being built. The price of a car seems to be the same whether the UAW built it or someone else in Korea? Why is that? Perot was right, that sucking sound is all of our jobs leaving. NAFTA seems like pure insanity but these corporations and their government puppets new exactly what they were doing. They don't want to be here and they don't care about us. As long as you still make enough money to buy their sh*t at Walmart that is all they care about. Once that stops there maybe a problem. Unions are a scapegoat like I said how can such a small entity destroy a nations manufacturing. It can't but greed can. For example. Now that my American made shoes are so popular I need to expand. Should I stay here and be loyal to my country? Well here I pay more for wages than I would paying someone next to nothing in a third world country. I pay more taxes here? I have to work within the EPA's guidelines. And on and on. If it isn't pure greed and CEO's making 400% more than the workers, it is the government itself and their policies keeping people from doing business here. So after all my rambling I blame it all on the powers that be. Globalization is a good thing! [/QUOTE]
