That is a great idea! However not only clothing investors are finding ways to cut production costs, every single businessmen and investors are and It's plain and simple, cutting production costs will earn a lot of profit. Sad to say, patriotism is not one of the qualities of a good businessman or investor.

I agree Frank, and as an International Artists, I have enough recognition that I can dress as bad, or goofy as I want to (kind of expected of us) how great it would be seeing our factories opening up across our great country again.

For the last 3 decades, since the conceptualization of globalism, businessmen are investing on 3rd world countries where labor costs are way far cheaper ( it ranges from $0.20 to $1.00 / hour) than our labor cost here! If you were on their shoes, what would you do then, invest here or on 3rd world countries?

Well I didnt direct my remarks to businessmen and investors. I directed to working people who have the power to bring jobs back home. I am not against buying some products from other countries but I believe that there should be equal trade . Allow unions to operate in those countries and open their markets. If they want to charge a tariff on our goods we should charge the same amount on thiers. Also there should be no tax breaks for businesses and investors who send jobs outside the US . We should also cutoff all foreign aid to countries that support sweatshops and dont pay a fair wage .

I agree with you Frank on the tax breaks of investors and businessmen and there exists equal trade around the world. One of the causes of mass unemployment is businessmen are avoiding high labor costs thus diverting their money outside US
