Who sent 80% of all American Mfg jobs to foreign and third world countries ?

Was it the American workers whose wages and benefits have been flat for the last twenty years???

Was it the ''Rascally" UNIONS who comprise 14% of America's workers today??

OR was it Corporate America with the rich to make ''OBSCENE'' profits while getting Corporate Welfare from the govt. to CREATE JOBS ???

OR is the fact big business is sitting on 7 TRILLION DOLLARS of PROFITS and WON"T invest in America?? OR<<is it ALL of the ABOVE ??

Update:

BARON Your the perfect example WHY America is DOOMED and in a race to the bottom !! We have ALWAYS had an above average life style, and the finest country in the World. EVERYONE, aspires to come to America and share the '"AMERICAN DREAM" !! Your actions, along with other business peoples is WHY America has little to no manufacturing and a standard of living which will eventually be the same as third world countries !! Your actions (IN MY OPINION) are ''Traitorous"!! Why don't you just MOVE to India and sell your product there?? Have you got any bank accounts with off shore countries to EVADE TAXES yet ?? You see, THAT"S EASY too !! Hang in there,,you'll be doing that soon !! You see,,Americans WON"T work for 60 cents an hour,,and when it gets too bad for the average working person,,they'll be another REVOLUTION !! Then you'll wish you HAD did things differently !!!

    It is corporate greed and right-wing hatred. The funny thing is that the same people who hate unions, hate American workers, hate environmental rules and hate so-called "socialism" in American will gladly send jobs to China which is an openly Communist country. Meanwhile, the same crooks want to be considered American "patriots!"

    I just wonder where you would invest your money. Do you want to invest it to lose or to gain? What benefits do businesses in other countries have to provide? What is the corporate tax rate of other countries? Who has the highest corporate tax rate in the world? Who wants the Communists to take over America? How many benefits will they provide? How much profit will the Communists make? Can you invest in profitable companies under Communism? Can you start your own business? Will you need a college education to do telemarketing? Will everybody have a 42 inch TV? Will they have 500 channels? Has any Communist country put a man on the moon or a rover on Mars? When will North Koreans have electricity? Are nuclear submarines commonplace among Communist countries? Will everybody in the world ever love everybody else? Should we kill everybody who wants capitalism? Hmm shades of Joseph Stalin and Obmama's friends Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dorhn.

    The unions had a part in the blame. They got pensions that were generous, but not paid for, and wages for workers that were too high.

    On the other hand, when you want to get a landscaper to plant some trees or whatever. You want the most reasonable price. "Corporate America" has seen the cost of doing business here go up and up. Sending work overseas is a way of controlling cost.

    Business won't invest bedcause of the uncertainty of the future.

    The only reason those companies have profits is because by keeping labor costs low they are able to stay in business and make a profit. When companies, US steel mills in union states, for example, can't do that they go out of business and laid off workers blame the investors who tried to save the company.

    it is like asking, "Why do atheists kidnap babies?" i'm confident that ninety 9.999% of all atheists do no such difficulty, yet there are a pair of atheists obtainable who kidnap babies. There are actually not any Christians obtainable searching down and killing homosexuals. No Christian could help a bill that would desire to make homosexuality a capital offense. Homosexuals, on the different hand, are actively against Christianity. they have already made it unlawful to criticize them in lots of places with those new "hate regulations."

    AS a business owner in manufacturing I'll tell you but you don't care about the truth based on your loaded question. In the USA we have way to much regulation and licensing fees to compete with other countries. I send all of my engineering work to India now in order to stay in business. It's easy..I scan the project and send it to the engineering frim I use in India..they do the work and send it back! I save 70% from what I would have to pay here. We all do it in order to compete and stay in business. Want to complain? Complain to your oversized retarded government workers that have no idea what they are doing and would never make it in the business world. You need a license in this country to give a freaking massage!

    it was congress through the 60s , 70, and 80s who allowed dumping at below cost here on the basis of their obsession with "free trade" which of course is a myth and has never existed, the unions helped of course by being intransigent but it was mainly down to congress
