We sell to the top 5% mainly -- who do you think can afford $150/hr for a cam slut? Working class people buy less than 10% from us. So, from that aspect I don't care.
The costs of benefits for employing a US American worker are far too expensive. The cost of the benefits are the problem -- not the benefits themselves.
I grew up on a veteran's benefit and social security stipend survivor's benefit because my father died when I was 11. My mother worked to support us the best she could doing office administrative work. So, it is not like I am not sympathetic to the burden on the middle class. However, I see the world for what it is and not some nostalgic memory of some past that was really not as good as we pretend it to be.
Give a a worker in southern Asia $700 a month and he will work his ass off. Employ a US worker for $500 a week and add $200 in healthcare, optical and dental -- 401K retirement investment subsidy -- statutory unemployment insurance, and employer's share of FICA taxes (social security retirement and Medicare) -- you have a disgruntled worker that thinks he is underpaid, wants to join a union and strike for higher wages
