Perry lured jobs from out of states by lowering taxes, how does he lure jobs from other countries?

1. Repeal child labor laws through a states-rights initiative.

Hell, Texas schools are being destroyed by him anyway, at least the uneducated little buggers can dig ditches for a buck a day.

2. Using prison labor for 25 cents an hour

No health insurance, no labor unions, no benefits. Make American workers competitive with the third world countries and we will get our jobs back. That is the vision.

3. Hey, dumba**, Texas Is a country

4. What any winning Rethug will do

is push something through Congress that allows a one-time super-low tax rate on profits that US multinational corporations want to bring back over the border. They'll make the argument that it's better to have two or three percent of something, than thirty-five percent of nothing.

5. Nobody wants to talk about that

They tell us 'those jobs won't be back' and wash their hands of it. I doubt that our country will be able to survive without a manufacturing base. I remember when everyone could easily get a job when they wanted to work. Our wages were not high, but things were affordable and you could even afford to buy a car or a home.
