Everything becomes moot if this country does not have a viable economy by means of a middle class. There simply has not been free trade - all that has happened is that companies have moved out and have shipped their goods into this country tax free. That is the worse case scenario because where do our citizens work.
Everybody seems to forget that. All the other countries seem to protect their workforce but we haven't cared for a generation. And, goods haven't been any cheaper: IPhones made in china by peasants living on gruel cost a fortune and so do the the fancy athletic shoes - hey, about those $100 dollar Polo shirts.
If we don't start to protect our jobs by increasing the cost of doing business out of the country - along with tax and regulation reduction - we are going down the drain. (Oh, and secure the freakin' border.)

Problem is the proposal seems to be new taxes and regulation.
You don’t improve the economy - for all classes - by increasing government control, taxes and regulation.
If you do, then the democrats are right.
