Well, that's one way to argue in favor of higher taxes and more regulation. In any case, and this may be news to you, Canada has a lower level of business regulation than the U.S. (and a lower tax rate).
Look I am not arguing we have our problems, but the biggest problem we simply refuse to discuss it the export of millions of American jobs.
Bring back US jobs.
Now.
We obviously need to deregulate in a very big way. Unshackle American businesses. Our overbearing regulations are strangling American business. At the same time we need to regulate how foreign businesses interact in the US marketplace, especially our adversaries that are becoming increasingly belligerent towards us. It’s simple really and a matter of self preservation. You can bet that China does it.
