Politicians don't realize how easy it is to move a factory. Most factories are movable. The companies that stay around a long time (not just decades, but centuries) are always shopping jurisdictions, and not just for new development. I've seen entire factories put on trucks and then boats and sent to China or Mexico from the US...sometimes because the unions have priced themselves out of a job...sometimes because of taxes...usually both. A good union job used to be Ford. Now, it is Jack in the Box. We can't reduce union wages, but we can have more right to work states with fewer regulations and less taxes. That is the only way to keep manufacturing here and incentivize new factories. Instead, the Dept. of Labor (or whomever) will probably make new companies with over 50 employees install 28 different types of bathrooms. (Joke...but with a point.)
