275 - "Government has way too much regulations on so many levels. Also, it's not the wild wooly days of early industry"

Ah, you are correct. However, thats what our free-traitors are arguing for.

And doing away with government regulations won't change the fact that I can get an adequate 2 bedroom apartment in Bejing or Delhi or Cairo for $10 per month. No amount of regulation reduction will compensate for that. Their cost of living must be compensated for. I could live very comfortably for $100 per month in many 3rd world countries I have lived and worked, once I learned the 'local' 'market' prices. They don't have 'fixed' pricing. Especially for foreigners/tourists, which is the only thing most Americans ever find out. And you have to learn the local language to understand what they are doing.

Even taking all the regulations and taxes off everything can't reduce the cost of living/production that much, anywhere in the US, though when I first came to Texas from New York, (at the same salary) I figured I got a $3,000 salary increase, just from Tax relief, and for the same rent for a tiny 1 bedroom garageless apartment in New York (garage was $185/month more), I got a 4 bedroom house, with 2 car garage. So it cost me nearly 20 times as much to just park my car, in NYC, as it cost to house me and my family in a 3rd world country.

There is no way we can compete with this.
