its sad what has become of the north american manufacturing sector. In my hometown area there used to be a bunch of mold making/tool and die shops pumping out auto parts and the like, they're all gone except for one now. Moved to china/mexico. Some even closed their doors and didn't even give the employees their last check. I went to school for mold making but started making websites while waiting around for an apprenticeship. good thing for me i guess but anyways... while lowering taxes might help to some minute degree the only way to bring these jobs back is one of the following
-workers must accept huge wage cuts which would make it impossible to afford life in any first world nation
-huge import taxes on anything made out of country so people have no incentive to leave
- workers in labor cheap countries demand more and more until its no longer profitable to be over there
tax cuts or not, it will still be cheaper to make things in china/inda/whatever.
