I wonder what the cost of labor is to build a GM car that makes the stockholder see $$$. When I worked at GE our cost of labor was $70 per hour, Scotland was $45 and Brasil was $25. As a stockholder that charges your customer $90 per hour regardless, where would you rebuild jet engine, they all meet FAA requirements and are ISO 9000 certified. China's cost of labor is probably south of $5 per hour. I don't care tax breaks you give these companies, it just isn't enough to bring them back.
