Would you like to continue on the path we are on, or would a strong national effort to return us to our profitable manufacturing roots be better than more of this:

Scarlet: “Return us to our PROFITABLE MANUFACTURING ROOTS”.

I would be the first to argue that the US needs to return to it’s profitable manufacturing roots, however, organized labor has done more to destroy profitable American manufacturing than any other force, including counter-productive US trade policies.

Not only does this completely demolish your arguments regarding organized labor and it’s perceived “benefits”, but it supports the contention that America’s return as a manufacturing superpower will come about in spite of unions and organized labor and not because of them.[/quote]

Scarlet: Okay, show me the part where I said I’m against a return to US manufacturing prominence. Can’t find it? You know why? BECAUSE IT ISN’T THERE! To the contrary. What I said was that I was all for a return to American manufacturing prominence, but without the “deadweight” effects of organized labor/unions.

Since that doesn’t conform to your worldview (being a lackey for organized labor), you lied and claimed I was AGAINST American manufacturing, which is not what I said at all.

It’s interesting that anyone who doesn’t agree with your worldview is “anti-American” and a “traitor”.

My grandma left Germany in 1935 for the United States to get away from people just like YOU.
