Ah, the essence of capitalism and conservatism. Those businesses are "voting with their feet", to use a phrase from a previous post by you. And we have regulated some industries to an economic advantage in order to keep them in the country. Is that good when it means we have to pay higher prices? Regulation can be either good or bad and sometimes both at the same time. I am not trying to discuss the merits but trying to keep on topic from a challenge by another poster to discuss property rights as it applies in the regulation of business.
