Lessen those regulations on our industry and we can market competitive products at competitive prices, and producers can still make a profit.

Even if you eliminated the environmental restrictions, Americans aren't willing to work for $1.47 an hour. So industry would still move to Mexico. Being able to dump untreated waste into Mexican rivers is just a side benefit for the corporations. The slave labor is what they are really there for. And it's going to mean a lower standard of living for your kids.

But hey, as long as the CEO can make an extra buck today, who cares?

If that CEO can't make a buck, he's just going to raise prices until he can. We end up paying.

Not all restrictions are beneficial to the consumer. Gore's "carbon credit" BS is a good example. If industry if forced to buy carbon offsets, we'll pay the cost.
