Yup I'm a dummy, keep up the personal attacks.

Government has the ability to attract companies in an effort to employ the local populous. Many countries have tax incentives in place to bring jobs to our shores.

Keeping our tax system and regulations in place forces companies to hire elsewhere to remain competitive. Those policies are the direct responsibility of our beloved FedGov inc.

Regulating markets is the governments job, ignoring that shows your ignorance.

You have contradicted yourself in an admirable fashion. You point out that governments at all levels interfere with free trade by using tax incentives, etc. to artificially attract business to a particular area, but then use the existence of this interference and its consequences as justification for further governmental intervention! Amazing.

Oh, and by the way, I have made no personal attacks on you. I don't know if you are a dummy or are brilliant. However, your posts expose an ignorance of the principles of economics. That's a simple fact. I am ignorant of a number of things. That's also a fact. The problem arises when someone is ignorant of something, but does not, for what ever reason, recognize his ignorance. It pays to know what you know and know what you don't know.
