Idiotic and removed from reality. Farmer John couldn't afford it and company X wouldn't want to afford it. They're still moving to China. The only solution to make them stay would be to pay Chinese wages. Which would add to the working poor in America and Europe.
No easy solutions in a globalized market. But to understand that, one has to inform themselves. Which many don't do.
Well then you must not support the $15 minimum wage push either, so that's good because it would equally hurt small businesses. The prices business charge for products are the most the market can bear while still making a profit to remain in business and remain competitive. I work for a fortune 500 company that manufacturers the vast majority of products in China that American families buy. In fact they are now talking about creating robots and automation to cut costs further, and eliminate more Chinese labor, because it's getting too expensive. How can we compare with countries that have less human rights, and less environmental regulations, which keep labor costs at the bare minimum.
There is no reason Americans couldn't do a job that illegal immigrants can't do. All we need to do is get rid of the cheap illegal labor, which will force businesses to pay a livable wage, which will increase the spending ability of American workers, which will keep businesses in business, and employing people, and start the move upward. Problem is the elite would prefer to keep people poor, and instead of paying the citizens, move jobs offshore, or bring workers in. The same thing is happen in IT. WIPRO is one of the largest offshore India firms providing IT to major businesses, and not only do they do that, but they fire Americans and bring in people on work visas to work temporarily in country.
The general public is in a trance state, and starting to wake up.
