China poisons folks with industrial lead. Is this just the cost of doing business?

I heard one of the right wing radio dummies...oops...entertainers.... yesterday say that the reason we Americans can't compete with China is because of our environmental laws, unions and sky high taxes. True...Hannity really said that. So, if we dumped all of our environmental laws, outlawed unions and once more lowered taxes, could the US compete with the Chinese pay scales of $250.00 a month pay, no particular or at least no enforced environmental laws and the current tax load, what ever it is, levied against chinese industry, or, is this just propaganda for the GOP/Teabag/Fox 'News'/Jesus Freak party? Convince me that Hannity is correct and I promise to cast my vote for Palin, or Bachman, or Cain or even Mitt. Operators are standing by!
