Conservatives need to remember that it is not just limp wrists like Boehner at fault here, but the business interests backing their pitch for sub-minimum, sub-legal wages, instead of paying Americans to work for them.

As such, these businessmen are not just greedy, but anti-American. So when there is a conservative congress and POTUS, these businessmen need to be punished.

1) Make it very expensive for them to produce offshore yet sell at cheap prices in the US, undercutting American jobs.

2) Make it very difficult to do business here, yet evade paying taxes to anyone, because they play a shell game with their multinational model.

3) Punish them outright for embracing internationalism and socialism. If they want to support the UN and all the other internationalist organizations, they must do so out of their own pocket, not push through laws to have taxpayers money spent on such scoundrels.

4) Bust up the big business oligopolies. Starting with the MSM, and going industry after industry to insure a level playing field.

#4 accords with the doctrine of “subsidiarism:” that the smallest effective unit of organization should retain control. In government, it also provide for an internally logically consistent, naturally delimiting theory for limited government, whereas libertarianism has no natural delimit to anarchy*: all power should be retained by the individual, unless the nature a given task makes it inherently impossible to be achieved by individuals, in which case a village can act as a unit of cooperation of individuals.

But all such political power must be retained by the village, unless the nature a given task makes it inherently impossible to be achieved by such a local entity, in which case, a county can act as a unit of cooperation of villages.

And likewise, all such political power must be retained by the county, unless ... a state must act as a unit of cooperation among counties.

And likewise, all such political power must be retained by the state, unless ... a nation must act as a unit of cooperation among states.

(*I am NOT calling libertarians anarchists! I am only saying that the principle of libertarianism does not, in itself, define when government becomes allowable, or even necessary; and, therefore, there is no natural breaking point between libertarianism and anarchy except a pragmatism which is contrary to such idealism. The constitutional delimits of government authority — using the spirit of the constitution, rather than using the commerce clause as a loophole — would be an EXTERNAL, but highly reasonable guidance for the limits libertarianism, but Ron Paul and many other libertarians choose not to take advantage.)
