From the article: ...America´s regulatory and tax systems have unnecessarily raised domestic business costs in many instances...

BINGO!!! This is the line in this article to that point that sums it all up. It is TAXES and REGULATIONS that have fueled this whole fiasco. Reduce them both, and I mean DRASTICALLY, and you don't need whatever is in this plan.

These authors actually see it, but I doubt if reducing these will be part of the plan. I'm surprised they even mention this. Must be a slip of the fingers on the keyboard.

Now I'll read the rest of it.

While your understanding of tax/reg problems is excellent, please advise which politician will advocate even the SLIGHTEST rollback in EPA, OSHA, or EEO regs/standards.

Similarly, while I think elimination of the C-Corp income tax would be a very good thing all-around, it doesn't take too much to hear the demagogues ranting.

Last, even though the numbers are noticeable, tax/reg costs are only about 15% (or less) of sales for most organizations. That's not quite the same as the 70% difference in costs for most comparos of China/USA
