No American Job Ever Goes Overseas

I've been making this point for years: no American job ever goes overseas.  What happens is USA economic policies cause US Industry to build their next modern plant overseas.  It is not a question of taking a meat cutter's job and giving it to a meat cutter overseas. The new factory overseas cutting meat has no meat cutters.  (From Mish)


Where for workers once assembled cars in USA, Ford workers feed robots in Turkey. No American job ever goes overseas.  Those workers would have lost out anyway.

What we need is more economic freedom so more small business can grow and we can still have butchers cutting up more wholesome cattle for the USA specialty market.

Following the USgovernments ag policy of "get big or get out" small farmers were being destroyed since the only legal slaughter house for small farmers was in Oregon.  To keep slaughtering expensive, the feds would prosecute, and settle out of court, cases of private slaughterhouses "polluting."

The only way to handle pollution is through property rights.  As it is now, we end up with pollution institutionalized when the feds get involved.

But in the face of this attack on small business and independent butchers, farmers came up with mobile slaughter houses.  Make a stupid rule, and people will get around it.



Time to return to property rights and freedom, so we can get americans working in new and old jobs again.

Feel free to forward this by email to three of your friends.
