You're pretty much full of it and have twisted every word I say, along with making assumptions of grave nature and baseless assertions. Be happy this isn't the DHZ where Netrogo or another mod would flame your ass.
So in your opinion, $7.00 an hour is a living wage? Cause that's what the full-time, 40 hour week Wal-Mart workers around here get I believe.
Yes, outsourcing is bad. It takes away American jobs, and American jobs let people here live their lives. The economy is a means to people living comfortably, not an end unto itself. That's why only idiots like George W. Bush think that we should cater to businesses, which themselves are conglomerates of people spoken for by the richest and greediest. I never said we should "protect American firms that make crappy products", I said that by equalizing prices we give them an equal footing. When there's no difference in price due to outsourcing (and often inhumane labor practices in foreign countries like China allow for this difference) people will buy products based on what they want in the product, thus making competition work the way it's supposed to.
Yes, monopolies ARE evil. If you can say "monopoly", then say "Microsoft" and you don't get a since of the latter being evil because it's an instance of the former, you are clinically Republican.

Quote:Because of the business legislation in the USSo business legislation is forcing them to go mistreat Chinese workers because they can't mistreat the workers here to the extent that they'd like? Yes, why not prohibit unions (which we have already done somewhat, union busting is very easy nowadays), and allow managers and supervisors to whip their workers!? See above about outsourcing, and shut up with the unfounded assertions.
Quote:Small businesses have a hard time because of business legislation. Business legislation affects small businesses most. We get rid of that and large corporations have more competition.Eliminate the business legislation and the workers will be in chains (literally) tomorrow. The small business won't even really exist because large corporations will gobble them up as soon as they become profitable.

Quote:Any advanced economy is based more on service. Also, if you want to increase economic growth, decrease business legislation.BULLSHIT. Prove these somehow, if you even can.
Quote:Why should companies have to provide health insurance, and a standardized one?The old regulations never forced companies to provide health insurance, they merely standardized what went on when the company chose to. If they didn't want to follow the regulations they could just not provide health insurance.
