This thread is confusing,

provide new jobs esp as Union Camp people retire nd those are clean, high paying jobs.

You are patently wrong about Boeing.

The Dreamliner is a brand new plane for international flights. Boeing is still creating other models in Washington and 747s. The Dreamliner did not take 1 job out of Washington. In fact, it created a bunch of NEW union jobs in Washington, but the unions being their usual greedy selves got the corrupt pro-union Obama admin involved to stop Boeing from coming to SC cause they wanted ALL the new jobs in Washington.

You need to stop drinking the socialist union kool aid and get your facts straight comrade.

From the Charleston City Paper, a VERY liberal independent publication ...

"At issue is whether Boeing illegally retaliated against its unionized workforce in Washington state by building a second Dreamliner plant in North Charleston, a move that will create an estimated 3,800 new jobs in South Carolina.

Prior to the announcement, Boeing had pursued plans to create a second plant in Everett, Wash., but the company nixed that idea when the workforce refused an agreement that would have barred them from striking for 10 years. The airline manufacturer's original Dreamliner plant is still in operation, and it appears that Boeing has no intention of ending operations there. Since the announcement of the North Charleston plant, some 2,000 jobs have been created by Boeing in Washington."

In case you missed it, let me summarize for you, comrade ... the Dreamliner created 2,000 NEW union jobs in Washington and an estimated 3,800 NEW jobs in SC. Plus the 1,000s of other NEW jobs that will eventually be created by suppliers and contractors like with BMW.

Are you so ignorantly liberal and stupid that you would rather see more union jobs in Washington than great jobs for needy deserving people in SC?

stupid assumptions. Clearly you don't read many of my posts. I have been posting on here for years as follows ... we need to eliminate the current tax code and replace it with a 15% flat tax that over time scales down to 10%. Use it for ALL individuals & corporations. Eliminate ALL personal deductions except charitable donations and mortgage interest on homes below $500,000 in value. Eliminate ALL corporate and farm subsidies and welfare. Eliminate all price subsidies, but keep gov't backed crop insurance, but convert it to the private sector or a quasi-private agency. For businesses/corporations, keep charitable donation deductions and all ordinary and customary expenses and depreciation, but as sated, eliminate most silly deductions and all corporate welfare.

America is a Republic, which is a form of democracy. And while democracy may be messy, it is far better than anything else going and will be until man creates something better.

We were the freest country in the world, and while much has changed, we are still among the freest. The places with more freedom are most;y very small and homogenous or countries within a country like Hong Kong.

There are down sides to huge corporations and conglomerates, but there are also huge advantages. We need less but smarter regulation that actually gets enforced.

The reality is, huge countries like America are too big and diverse to effectively manage from a central government. What we need is a return to states rights and home rule with small nimble regional governments that loosely oversee and manage the states in their regions and are not allowed to form bureaucracies. ALL elected officials and heads of any significant bureaus should have term limits, but of course, each region will decide this for themselves.

From there a small central federal government that oversees the regional governments primarily with a focus on military, foreign policy, and interstate (aka inter-regional) commerce. Each region would handle its own international trade and there is no more need for a SCOTUS, as each region would have its own Supreme Court. These folks would have term limits and limited power the way the Constitution intended. A Parliamentary system would prolly work best on the national level and take huge money and corporate influence largely out of the federal gov't.

There would be no passports or restrictions needed, people can move, work, live freely across regions and decide where they want to live and work just like now, but without huge social issues crippling our government via ugly divisiveness.

Obviously a lot more details need hashed out but you get where i'm going.

I'm pro-life, but otherwise a staunch libertarian. I'm a big fan of Thomas Sowell.
