Such as? Monopolies are frowned upon, they can't dump raw sewage or hazardous chemicals into the Great Lake's any more, what?
Most of these things [regulations, unions] have been around since the industrial revolution and now all of a sudden they are the cause of off-shoring? I believe you should pay more attention to more recent events such as free trade agreements, Most Favored Nation status, WTO, etc.As if the burdens on companies have remained static since the Industrial Revolution. What a silly notion.
