U.S. Corporations have off-shored their production and services to low wage countries, with devastating consequences for the American people.
Congress has enacted rules for Corporations that have violated the public trust, and that have put our national economy in jeopardy.
Low wages paid in undemocratic regimes reflect government coercion, and should be considered unfair wage competition.
