You're getting downmodded, but you're right. That's one problem. The other is unfair international trade rules that allow oppressive foreign regimes to compete against workers in liberal democracies with slave labor and no environmental laws. There is no way domestic industries can compete with that. It always costs more when you have to actually pay people and comply with OSHA regulations and when you can't spew unscrubbed coal ash into the air by the megaton.
