With all of the complaints about America losing jobs to foreign nations, and the recent stories of recalls, will the government look at the way that Businesses are taxed, and the fees that they have to pay just to be in business in the US?
I am a business owner, and by doing things right (licensed, insured, bonded, filing taxes, etc.,), we have to raise the costs of our jobs just to break even . . . can anyone really blame companies for leaving the US?!?

That's the thing people don't get about capitalism.
Capitalism is designed and intended to work under a free market economy, where businesses are free to buy and sell to whatever customers want them -- and the market itself regulates prices through competition.
If a company can get better or cheaper somewhere else, capitalism requires that they be allowed to go there -- even if "there" is a business in another country.
People who are demanding govt regulation, tarriffs, trade restrictions and all the other limitations on the market -- that's actually socialism in action, not capitalism.

Do you know why it is like this? It is because the businesses who get the breaks are the super rich who give millions to get the politicians elected. Every thing else is set up to prevent actual competition for them.
So, yes, I can blame the companies for not being loyal to the American people.
