If you

1) lowered taxes to 10-15% flat tax

2) abolished minimum wage

3) got rid of the thousands of dead-end regulation that skyrocket costs

4) abolished federal protection of unions

we would experience a greater economic boom that we did after the Reagan tax cuts. Soon, China would be off the economic radar screen.

All those things are good and that would help the service, retail and construction economy. But that wouldn't stop the off shoring of manufacturing. Factories are closing because a US workers cannot compete with peasant wages.
