I think his point, although he clearly does not see it himself, is that because US society is all about low taxes for the rich, it leads to poor education in places like Alabama. This leads to automakers, like Toyota, building factories in Canada. The result is that the good paying jobs with health care benifits are disappearing from the US, and being replaced with jobs that don't provide good benifits, so it's up to the taxpayers to make up the difference by paying for subsidized emergancy room bills and medicade. Meanwhile, Canada, which has national health care, and does not need jobs that would provide health care benifits in the US, gets the plant, and the US gets nothing.
