The American worker is desperate. We haven't had real growth in income from wages since the 1970s, but prices have soared.

Unions in the private sector have been broken to a great degree.

"Immigration reform," aka more workers competing with each other for limited jobs, is on the horizon--and Koch won't throw a monkey wrench into that.

Things overseas are costing more now that the companies help grow those economies. Shipping is not free.

And so on.

Whatever it was, it was not concern for workers that is bringing the companies back.
