Is the cost of business the only asset America has? Innovation? Upward mobility for lower class?You make it sound like a prostitute and a pimp. That she’s nothing without him.
Why doesn’t Amazon or Google move to one of those low tax, low cost states like Mississippi or Tennessee?
It’s almost like corporations stay in high tax states like New York, Cali, or Washington cause a competent workforce requires a higher standard of living and increasing longevity of assets like quality schools and healthcare.
If you buy into the idea that America only stays ahead on the exploitation of workers, you see why a resource rich place like Africa stays at the bottom.
Meanwhile the cost of doing business has shipped other industries overseas entirely...
My question: is increasing operating cost a net gain a for the nation? Especially for the low skilled who aren’t at Apple/google and whoever else you referenced.
