It is the fault of government with its high tax rates and over regulation and in bed with big business... that either allowed or drove many businesses out of America to a lower wage district like China. Reich would suggest socialism as the cure. But that would only destroy what's left of America. It destroys every country that tries it. Look at Europe in its death throes. Look at the former USSR, Cuba, etc. The problem is cronyism not capitalism. Most people today don't even know what that means.

[...] The US has the lowest tax rates of any developed economy. Robert Reich does not suggest 'socialist' solutions, as you wrongly report. You misinform [...] in proposing that a US Secretary of Labor could perform as a 'socialist'. The Clinton administrations, in which Reich served for 4 years, were certainly not 'socialist' The intent of Dr. Reich's piece is to explain how 'capitalism' can better serve society. You contribute a very poor, inaccurate and biased comment.
