[QUOTE="upfrombottom, post: 789995, member: 13088"] There is only about a third, maybe less, of the catfish farms that used to be in Arkansas. Most put out by overseas competition. When you don't have to pay unemployment taxes, Social Security taxes, Medicare taxes, Workmans Comp insurance, vacation pay, time and a half over forty, and a bookkeeper to keep up with and file all the reports and paperwork, you could compete with overseas labor. Every one of these, by law, has to be paid by a US employer on every employee. Add to that a new health care plan paid by the employer, and the rest will be gone. [/QUOTE]
