How so?
To use a blanket assumption (I doubt I need to say the old ditty about assumptions), that regulations and taxes are problems with our economy and therefor if we rid ourselves of the our over regulation and the god forbid, taxing businesses (for the pleasure of making money in this country.) we would be in a better posistion itself is a misnomer.
The problem isn't the regulations persay, but rather these regulations are placed upon businesses by a large number governmental agencies, from the federal government, then the state government, the county government, city government, and then down to whatever local special district you happen to live or do business in. And then to top it off many of these regulations are on the books due to a percived need or worse due to previous actions of businesses or corporations of ill-respute.
Lastly there are regulations that many of us are unwilling to go without or we as a people feel we need with many of them them going back to the start of the industrial revolution.
In that last regard the strawman is a perfectly valid arguement since there are some companies or businesses that have no problem working with suppliers who would not be held to many of the regulations we feel we need. Because of that should we automaticly remove those regulations that protect those would work or live near certain industries, simply because businesses cannot compeate against foreign suppliers who need not follow such regulations?
Are you in favor of "regulatory and tax policy stupidity"? If not, then why are you arguing against the original poster's premise?
