8. UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE!
If I'm going to make something and I have a choice between building a factory in a place where the government provides the health care or where I have to pay a ransom for the health care of my employees, where do you think I'll go?

Just make a trip from the depressed post-industrial Buffalo New York to Toronto Canada. As soon as you cross that Canadian Border, You see nothing but factories that make stuff.

It reminds me of how it was where I grew up in eastern PA. Now that area has mostly large distribution centers that store and ship stuff made in those other countries where they have universal health care.
