It has nothing to do with what you 'want', but rather the historical results of wealth redistribution.
I often get chastized for not 'wanting' this or that, but want has nothing to do with it. I WANT everyone to have a high standard of living, I WANT all workers to have high wages, I WANT everyone to prosper. However, history shows (Detroit) that simply taxing more, and pouring in more of other people's money, does not raise the average standard of living. What would do that, would be more manufacturing jobs, more utilization of our own resources, instead of free trade, outsourcing, and stifling of business.
One example:
We have a President who made public speeches, where he said that within the USA, energy prices would 'necessarily skyrocket', if his ideas were implemented. If you were a multi-national company, would you be looking to expand in an area where your future costs were planned to 'skyrocket', or somewhere that promised you access to cheap energy. Keep in mind, energy costs are one of the major expenses, in most manufacturing facility/process.
