A pretty wordy way of saying "yea your right, but if only the 'low productivity' folks would take a cut in pay and expect no benefits, coupled with the ability to do business without any regulations, well then the poor misunderstood wealthy corporations would move their jobs back to the US. Because, of course, they should have an even LARGER piece of the pie."
