"With the current trade laws favoring China? I’d be out of business in no time flat...which is the problem...have to fix the trade laws."

If by trade laws you mean wasteful government mandated minimum wage laws and OSHA Regs and Mandatory Sick Leave and EPA regs etc. yeah then you are right. But instead of repealing such madness you want the Government to right more legislation to try and combat the idiocy they already put in place.

Imagine yourself in a very deep hole and the government offers you a larger shovel and tells you to dig harder. This is the argument you are making, this is why most of us laugh at your proposals. You have not yet learned that Government intervention in the markets has got us where we are.

We've been there...

We've done that...

We've bought the T-shirt...

and we are still in the damn hole!

Of course we must fix minimum wage (sarcasm) then small business owners and others could really pay crap wages...perhaps we could even get down to ‘will work for food territory’...Sorry I will not join your rush to the bottom. what made this country a great country was a middle class, policies such as yours will destroy the middle class and this country and that’s no laughing matter.
