I wish I could take that vote back in 1980...should not have voted for a movie star that looked liked the Marlboro Man

I know what you saying, but it's different today. Today, if the rich can't make what they want then they simply send work offshore, and that costs us even more jobs. While I don't agree it is fair practice, one cannot deny they have us by the balls so to speak. Cut in to their earnings by demanding high wages, harsh EPA regulations, or collecting more taxes from them and they just close shop in the US knowing they can still win the game.
