American companies actually get a tax credit to help defray the costs of moving their plants overseas.
But funny how when they cut their labor costs by 90%, the retail prices of the stuff the still sell here don't go down,
Where do you suppose all that extra money goes?
But you still justify outcourcing because you think it will help you buy cheaper stuff.
And of course, you want to buy cheaper stuff because your non union job in your right to work for less state pays you such shit wages.

For those that don't remember, the greatest period of economic growth in the last century, occurred at a time when income taxes on the wealthiest Americans were at an all time high and union membership among American workers was also at an all time high and we had a thriving middle class.

But the Corporate bosses don't want a thriving middle class. They want us fighting over pennies so we won't notice that they are robbing the bank.
