I don’t know about that.

Business was lost because workers were too greedy. Think Unions and union wages.

Business was lost because the government was too greedy. All the regulations and “law like rules” handed out and used to harass business.

Business was lost to the environmentalist progressives over the past few decades.

Business was lost to overseas...because elements in our culture made and forced business to choose friendlier places to do business.

Business didn’t go to Galt’s Gulch, but they went Galt.

You are exactly right. The US leftist disease drove business away, and thats the most powerful driver. As we speak, oil Companies are moving teir offices off shore out of Dalas Fort Wrrth to carribean havens and soon the jobs in Texas will go elsewhere. Oil companies just can't flourish in the unstablr environment created by leftists, th EPA, the politicsof failure on US energy policy. They are moving to where there is some sanity in government, where idiots likeelossi couldnot possibly drive politics.

Can't say as I blame them much, but it hurts the American people big time. The failure is in the hands of the left. Soon they will have no tax base left from this evolution, which is the exact moment they will try to take over private citizen investment and savings.They have already discussed in committee how they need to protect Roth accounts ant IRAs from alegedly unscrupulous hedge funds who supervise them ( TIAA CREF??), saying their tax lien on such funds justifies government taking them and 'investing ' them.

A big bang is approaching, Americans will not take much more.
