Why "zones?"

How about establishing the entire U.S. as a place where companies can have the same competitive rules as overseas locations?

Pragmatism.

You can create zones without having to deal with corrupt union + big Government hot spots from sea to shining sea

Probably because that would bema simple solution that wouldn’t createma bigger government and line politicians’ pockets.

Establish zones in America that work to the same competitive rules as the overseas locations.

The solution is to get Government off their backs. Not to make it bigger.

After reading your posts I think I get that you are being somewhat sarcastic to make a point.

If not and as to others who think that the Federal government establishing special “zones” for US companies to operate with special rules are a good idea, I disagree.

For one thing how does the Federal government decide where to establish such “zones” and under what conditions, i.e. for what considerations would the States or local governments be beholden to the Federals (think about what the Federal Highway Admin and the Department of Ed forces on the States in order to get funding that they are pretty much forced to take, just to name a few); what sort of other “pork” would get mashed into this soup; what types of companies or industries would the Federal government give this “favored status” to, or not to – oil and gas bad – “green energy – good? I see such as being rife for even more abuse than what we have now. I would also think that allowing the Federal government to enact special lower taxes and or suspend some laws in some special areas of the country to the detriment of others would be unconstitutional but then I don’t think the Constitution matters to many of my countrymen anymore.

Your countrymen should continue to buy on merit from whomever they wish - we just need to remove the barriers that thwart American wealth-producers. Give businesses a competitive environment and then the American-made product will become competitive.

How about establishing the entire U.S. as a place where companies can have the same competitive rules as overseas locations?

On this we agree. Well said.
