When the plants can send their sewing to china and have children sew all day for nearly nothing, why stay hear. When they can have their furniture made in Mexico, by children for next to nothing why stay here, The kids that inherited their father's land don't farm it, they sell the wood, strip the land, sell the equipment, and walk around with their heads down. My heart goes out to the Auto industry, but try moving south.
