Business can not be succersful when their hands are tied behind their back...we need to have fair trade. Make foreign competitors obey the law.

This is a very simplistic view. Business is affected by society and vice versa.

.....Make foreign competitors obey the law.....

You mean like insourcing jobs to unionless South Carolina where both Daimler Chrysler and BMW have established plants to comply with the laws that put tarriffs on their imported products.

There could be labor southward migration from Michigan but they have the union disease and are thus not employable.

Or perhaps like Nissan that recently moved its headquarters from the sewer of Los Angeles to more friendly Tennessee where people actually work.

Auto jobs are not being lost, the loser's jobs are being taken up by others with a good attitude about a days work.
