Political Factoid
Republican Rick Santorum
said "manufacturing friendly"
jobs legislation needs to:
- Reduce taxes on manufacturers
If there are "any" taxes, CEO's will keep
their investments and jobs overseas.
- Reduce regulations
U.S. environmental regulations
must be eliminated so that the highly toxic
and polluting manufacturing operations can
be brought back to the U.S.
- Reduce energy taxes
Gasoline prices in the U.S. are a fraction
of what they are in the rest of the world,
due to U.S. government subsidies of the
oil industry, and must be driven much lower yet
(through government subsidies, of course), to
offset U.S. labor costs.
