What makes us uncompetitive in the US. Is it our high wages? would eliminating the minimum wage help. Are the Taxes to high, if they eliminated all taxes on manufacturing would that help you to compete with China. Would the elimination of osha and the epa make it possible for us to compete. What if there were no taxes and the government supplied you with free labor and subsidized your materials and gave you a building and let you pollute with impunity all the while helping you controll your workforce. Could we compete if we had all those advantages or is it impossible. I just got some quotes from pakistan on producing some of my products. I didnt request them they just sent them to me trying to get me to contract my manufacturing out to them. The quotes are so low it is insane I know they are legitimate because I have talked to other people who have outsourced there production to this company. I cant even buy the steel let alone manipulate it in anyway, heck even if it was free I couldnt match there price, even if I had free labor I couldnt match that price. The cost of existing is higher than what they are willing to work for.
