So you don't think over-regulation and a high fiscal burden of government distort the price of labor and goods?
They add to the costs of production and should be examined. But a class of people here want an exclusionary focus on yhat element because it is part of a rote-memorized song and dance routine. In reality, the cost of goods and services in this country were prohibitively high 20 or 40 years ago when the regulations effecting production where not that different than those in existence now. This nation was doing very well before we began exporting industries. There is no reason why that could not have continued. Export of industry is largely an arbitrary matter, not necessity. It is an arbitrary trend destroying the economy of this nation.
