I wrote a paper on this in my business class, there are a lot of people who feel different about this but look up rustbelt cities. These were created as soon as we started sending business to China. You have to look after your own because nobody else will do it for you.
that statement only strenghtens the arguement to send jobs overeas. as a business owner, why would i spend 15 times in labor then i could spend by subbing it out to another area.i am looking out for my own by increaseing my profit margins by double digits.
i do alot of work with dominican republic, and what i pay i used to pay an employee here in the states for a week i have 10 people working who speak perfect english and are more then qualified.
and there work ethic is 100 times better..
unions and the govt. is killing the middle class, not nafta.

just my .02 cents.
