The government is why you can't compete.

Wealth-producers in the US face the highest corporate tax rates, the most byzantine and arbitrary regulatory burden and the most pernicious legal vulnerabilities found in any country on earth.

See for instance: Burger King, Gibsons Guitars, the water industry in California or coal mining anywhere.

American wealth-producers also have to compete with Government arbitrarily interfering in the market, picking winners and losers. I'm thinking here of General Motors and Solyndra.

The solution is less government and less regulatory overburden.

Over-regulation and taxation have nothing to do with allowing H1-B workers to come in to this country and take jobs away from Americans. Nothing, zero, nada, zip.

The government is why you can't compete.

Right you are! So many of these articles focus on the companies, and ignore the corrosive effects of government interference.

And let's not forget the irrational demands of unions, who think it's quite appropriate to demand that entry-level janitors make $20 an hour plus benefits.

To fix this, we'll have to get companies, the government, and the unions all on the same page. That ain't gonna happen, ever, IMHO.

In the mean time(forever) the H1B visa program NEEDS TO GO AWAY.
