Price matters to most everyone. There are a lot of reasons for shipping jobs to China. The jackboots in all those government agencies, EEOC, OSHA, Dept. of Labor, EPA, IRS, etc. has a lot to do with this. Not to mention high taxes.
If you ever ran your own business, the thought would cross your mind that if you were sane, you would shut it down, and go on welfare. Most people can't imagine the red tape, uncountable forms to fill out monthly, lawsuit threats, etc. that scream out "don't try to earn your own living. Go on welfare and we will take care of you and stop making your life miserable".
The sad fact is businessmen are treated like criminals. The average ignorant foolish envious voter wants it that way, and those awful politicians they vote for are happy to oblige.
