it would be great if that is what we actually did, but we don't.
really what our businesses do is take advantage of totalitarian states who oppress their populace, which in turn results in cheap labor who live in repressed markets that keep costs of living low. when the economy of the nation matures to a degree that those markets begin to rise, businesses have been moving again to more repressed markets. an example of this happening right now with wal-mart relocating their signature production line manufacturing to indonesia, because china is offering a less attractive margin. sadly, the environmental impact of the transportation in that distribution channel is not lessened.
(slightly off topic, but i must put this out whenever i can. wal-mart is destroying america, one low price at a time. not only do they drive small businesses under and destroy small towns, as one company they represent a full 10% of the ENTIRE national trade deficit. shocking.)
