19. No. We cannot MAKE A COMPANY OPEN A FACTORY HERE

We are a free nation, not a fucking communist state or somesuch where government controls industry and forces companies to open factories that makes buggies and whips even though nobody wants a fucking buggy or whip.

It sound like you want communism, is that the case? Because you just stressed me the fuck out and it is not fair of you. Republicans think that liberals want to force business to do things like that.

Yes. Paying decent wages should be the damn law, and I support higher wages, even a 20 dollar minimum if we can get it. But what? You think we should force coal companies to open up more mines even though demand is not increasing? Open up factories to produce goods that we wont buy because Walmart sells the same crap for ten bucks that would cost 60 bucks if we made it here and actually paid real wages to the workers? Or should we stop imports and close up our state, and cause the dollar to become worthless? Our dollar has value because we have these trade deals and other nations use our currency. Why would they use it if we placed harsh restrictions ongood coming from them to us? They wouldnt. Then our money means nothing. That will help the middle class!! Sigh

They ship jobs out because those workers will do the job with bad conditions, dangerous equiptment, few regulations for a buck fifty an hour while we cost them 15 bucks plus taxes, wirkers comp, fica, SS, plus we want raises and safety regs.

Sigh. The fantasy world of the right terrifies me but left wing famtasy is also quite puzzling.
