To: Meet the New Boss
We need to also lower regulations and weaken the power of unions and fix trade abuses among other things to help US industry.

I certainly agree with this statement which is one of the reasons I like Perry --he has a long, solid track record of fighting the EPA.

As for the example, in my weakness, I even went an 'ran the math' with a US TV originally priced at $110. The number comes out to $113 vs. $109 on the foreign so yes, depending on the scale there might be a shift. I am just not sure it would be significant enough to bring industry here. It seems that the two products would have to be really competitively-priced (w/i 5%-10%) for the taxes to make a difference.
