Well ok you disagree then.

But it’s an honest proposal.

I think this is a good, constructive idea. I would like to hear yours, in return.

China is building up.

China is potentially stronger, than Russia or America.

I agree there is room to discuss this issue, but not forever.

China owns everything in China, at the bottom line.

We cannot keep our industry operating there.

America needs to produce things. Here.

I just told you what I think the solution is. We have to make doing business in America more attractive than doing business elsewhere. It's as simple as that.

The way you do that, is to lower the cost of doing business here by slashing corporate taxes. You follow that up by chucking out all of the strangling federal regulations that handcuff businesses and raise their costs.

You've got three basic things that drive American businesses out of the country:

1. High corporate taxes at the federal level
2. Punishing and costly federal regulations
3. Higher wages for American labor

If you can significantly reduce just two of those things, businesses will be able to crunch the numbers and see that it's more profitable to do business here, than in foreign countries.

This is what I mean by using a carrot instead of a stick to solve the problem. An even further upside to solving the problem this way, is that you'll also attract foreign businesses to relocate here. Now that's something I think you'd completely agree with.
