Sure they do with the trade agreements they sign.

Sorry, but you are absolutely WRONG!

Trade agreements are fine, but we are not level. Our companies have to comply with multiple, overlapping agencies covering safety, security, shipping, testing, environment, etc as well as onerous taxes at the federal, state, county and local levels that all overlap one another.

Our businesses and our workers can compete with anyone in the world, even if they make 10 cents an hour. Our workers and businesses are far more productive, something rarely talked about.

Our productivity makes us the world leader in manufacturing, even today, despite everything I cited above.

Those are the costs of living in a first world America under an elected government passing laws. Companies spend enough money in Washington to amend whatever they want. Having a company in America should have worth to an organization unless they put money before country.
