“The key to our Nation's success is that workers share in the wealth they create. They are able to do that because we have a democracy. They are able to do that because we have a relatively strong labor union movement. They are able to do that because of mobility of labor, and a whole bunch of reasons in a free society here. When workers are more productive, as they are in the United States, as they increasingly get more productive, that means their wages should go up.

In Mexico, for instance, as productivity went up in Mexico, wages did not go up with them because they had a government that was authoritarian by and large, because they did not have free trade unions. They had government-controlled, business-controlled trade unions. So do we want a country like that?”
