Amen to that, brother. They should cut taxes and open up their markets to competition. Yes, many businesses will fail, but others will come in to take their place. This seems to be something that people all over the world have trouble understanding, including here in the US. Bush should never have slapped on those steel tariffs or signed that obscene farm bill. Failure is a necessary part of economic growth.
