You can't stop a global economy and if you want the U.S. to not be a part of the global economy, then you are ignorant.

The questions and terms are vague and misleading.
Rules
Regulations
Taxes
Global Economy

In law, there's justice, punishing guilty parties who have injured the person or property of another.
Why would you need rules and regulations?
All you really need is justice. Ah, but limited liability artificial persons have no one you can hold legally culpable, so the government legislates extensive rules and regulations ... which includes administrative and bureaucratic overhead. But that's not justice, nor has it prevented the corporations from their continued rampage. (Bashing corporations is not bashing capitalism. As defined, capitalism only means private ownership. Corporations are creatures of government, and exist only by privilege, not by right.)

Taxes. For what?
Securing inalienable rights does not require trillions and trillions. That's income transfer from national socialism. About 24% is for military misadventures in support of international usury. And by law, FICA is 100% voluntary servitude. Just withdraw consent, and 92% of the tax bill goes away. (Guess we had better leave Asia, close all those foreign bases, and ship personnel and material home.)

Global economy means WHAT?
Does it mean equitable trade, where workers doing similar things can trade their output?
Or does it mean that the money token wage is identical, despite different values in each respective marketplace?

Frankly, it's the fault of the government, that American industry has declined throughout the 20th century - and now, the 21st century.
One of the earliest victims of "progressive" collectivism was electric traction urban mass transit - streetcars. Not only did the "evil cartel" hiding behind National City Lines destroy them, progressive politicians like NYC mayor LaGuardia, gobbled them up, too. And the aftermath wasn't pretty.

I would rather not suffer the excesses of the People's Democratic Socialist Republic of America.

Our regulations and taxes, make us non-competitive in the global market place. We barely make anything here to export.

They opened the door for all our manufacturing jobs to disappear to another nation, yet we still use those products with our citizens without a job.

Pick one, because you cannot have both and survive.

I want neither.
