One thing I came up with that would be easier to do would be import duties based on how close a countries labor laws are to ours. The problem with that is most countries would consider that grounds for a duty war. Jay

Fuck that. If their labor laws aren't comparable to ours, they can't sell it here. No duty. No tarrif. No sale. === Kip Hawley is still an idiot. === Purveyor of Doc Hope's [link\|http://DocHope.com\|fresh-baked dog biscuits and pet treats]. [link\|http://DocHope.com\|http://DocHope.com]
Post #273,334 by jbrabeck 11/15/06 6:28:30 AM Reply	Question What's the difference between a company who decides to relocate from an "expensive, unionized" state to a "cheap, non-unionized" state and one who relocates (outsources) to a different country for the same reason? Both are a detriment to the existing work force. Both leave highly skilled workers without a job. A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort. (Herm Albright)

If the product was made in conditions that don't meet minumum federal standards, stop them at the border. Your state wants to do the same at the state border? Well, that'd be hard, seeing as our state borders are open. Guess you'd have to solve that on a state-by-state basis. === Kip Hawley is still an idiot. === Purveyor of Doc Hope's [link\|http://DocHope.com\|fresh-baked dog biscuits and pet treats].
