DeeG: Bingo!
Lynn, I think you are missing the point. The combination of greedy union thugs and what Dee noted, and the trial lawyers/law suits have made it impossible to run a profitable business. Who’s greed ruined GM and Dodge? And remember a business must be profitable to run and employ workers.
The confluence of what Dee said and law suits caused the out flow of businesses, which BackwardsBoy noted. Lynn, what did you expect a business owner to do? Go bankrupt?
I see it as the purposeful destruction of our economy in order to start a “new” economy based on statis’ ideals. This destruction has been going on for three decades and has not reached it ultimate goal. We have become a service nation; 70% of our GDP is service and in contradiction to what the author said, I believe only about 20% of our GDP is production based(10% is high finance).
Again this was on purpose. The Left had to destroy our industrial machine in order to institute their government and economy. And the easiest way to do it is through regulation, law suits and bureaucracy.
