As far as the REAL reasons for businesses fleeing our shores, you do not understand the voluntary cooperation and open competition of the free market economy which, without government interference, would allow U.S. companies to be competitive in costs & prices which is what this whole thing is all about. Among other idiotic federal policies, unconstitutional forced federal minimum wage is a DIRECT cause of “cheap labor” being an issue.

As far as your tariffs go, it is rational policy to shoot yourself in the foot because someone else shoots themselves in the foot, so everyone is “equal’?

Tariffs are a rational policy to maintain an independent nation as our founders understood and you clearly do not.

As for eliminating the minimum wage. Sure, let's leave it all to the fine folks who've flooded the US with legal and illegal Third World immigrants to keep wages down, and have moved millions of jobs to cheap labor nations, and use any other scheme available to lower the wage US workers.

The so-called free market, on an international basis, is little more than a fantasy entertained by the naive and exploited by the globalists.
