Image is what allows businesses to charge more than the bare bottom line for their products. Look at BMW, Mercedes. How can they charge what they do? Image. Most corporations understand that. The Yankees sure do.

Before the government stepped in with the creation of OSHA and passed legislation, worker's had no rights. Sure, they could quit and go elsewhere, but when unsafe working conditions and low-pay was the norm everywhere is that really an option?

Ever read
David Copperfield? That book and many like it are what made changes... image again. Not OSHA, not legislation. Those were just regulations, the cost of which drove up the cost of products.

We've struck a good balance between socialism and capitalism in this country. Businesses in this country are very prosperous and profitable, and we have safe workplaces and good wages.

Good balance? I don't think so. Businesses are very prosperous and profitible? Find out how many companies go under every year. Find out how many file some sort of bankruptcy.

All I ask is that someone go to these countries that now handle customer phone calls and teach them how to speak English. It should not take me 45 minutes to order an Elvis plate from the Franklin Mint.
