Do you really understand anything about business? Seriously... Here is reality, this is direct quote from the owner of a small manufacturing business whom I'm acquainted with, he provides some very well paying jobs to handful of employees. You could hear similar stories from anyone that makes something whether it's fortune 500 company or small opertion like this one:

In January a company came to me about having all of our stoves made in China. They would be shipped to LLS boxed and ready to sell. This at a much bigger profit than I could ever make .....

This particular owner has the option of not taking this deal becsue it's a niche market and there is no overseas competion at the moment. That doesn't mean there won't be.

Now Mr. Businessman what would you suggest this business owner do if the competition here starts undercutting his product with foreign product?

Of course with your 3rd grade logic. One can't have any regulation or taxation...It's all black and white.
There's one problem though. From the left point of view there's always not enough regulations and not enough taxation.
