Troll: I realize that companies go overseas for cheaper labor. My objection was that your comment was worded to blame the American worker for the cost of living in America. I'm guessing you are a working stiff like me or close to it -- pray tell, when was the last time you really had a significant choice about the cost of rent/mortgage or food? Or clothes, or education for your kids? One can't blame the workers for asking for $18 an hour to pay the bills when the CEO's are making 200x as much and certainly don't have 200x the education or are putting in 200x the work.

So we take these same companies that take their jobs overseas, and yet we are suppose to support tax cuts (paid for by average American) to improve their investment capital so they can build more factories in southeast Asia and take more jobs overseas? I don't get it. Explain to me again how this is supposed to trickle down and support the American worker? I'm all for helping out the folks in various 3rd world nations whenever possible, but the US government should have the interests of their employers first and foremost. And I am NOT talking about the lobbiests who pay for Congressmen's trips to the Cayman Islands to talk "tax strategy."

Bobert: Darlin', we don't see eye to eye on many things, but I appreciate the compliments :)
