well, no. canada suffered less because it's more left wing than the US
and regulated its banks. the US got killed because more americans are
conservatives and belief your kinds of horse****

Full employment of minimum wage clerks (crap wages, not the artificial
and
destructive statute minimum wage) is fine for the equivalent lifestyle

yeah in the US this means giving the rich even MORE of our money

. The
previous subject was the middle class. Wages stagnated and decreased due
to
a tremendous decrease in demand for everything from design and
engineering
to factory labor.

because the rich stripped mined the middle class. you want the rich to
keep doing it with all your fables

I had a machine department manager that offered to take
the job at the same rate I paid my secretary 18 years prior. Why? The
market sets the price of wages. Always.

rather strange, then, that the germans dont have the big difference
between middle class and elite income, isnt it?

you keep ignoring this. you just refuse to address it, with your right
wing bull****


If you aren't needed, why would you
be paid more, or be employed at all? What I'm explaining is visible to

you're the helen keller of economics.

Forget all of your wild rants above - they're senseless:

My REVERSAL AND RETRACTION::

I have analyzed new information and have to retract my previous
recommendations and position.

There is no chance that multi-level production (concept, styling, design,
engineering, tool, management and production)can return to your country, the
United States. The current, and unlikely to be repealed encumbrances
prohibit companies from "moving back." The costs of operating in the U.S.
are prohibitive, so even if it were to happen, they could NOT be affordable
to pay the staff and labor for a long period without sales.

It would take the workforce (all higher end and tech jobs plus general
labor) months if not years to earn enough to afford U.S. products at the
prices necessary due to the costs of production.

It follows that the firms I expected to move back will not be able to
produce without customers, and the middle class would not be able to "hang
on" until their wages and incomes could then afford US production. The
companies would have
increased costs and no customers for a lengthy period. The lag would be too
great, the companies would fold or have to move out, as has already
happened.

Sorry about the bad news.

The stupidity of increased taxes (????) and the maniacal political party
rants still remain dysfunctional, counter productive and in fact,
destructive.
