Our politicians do anything but protect our companies. Manufacturing has been squashed under the demands of unions, taxation, OSHA, and most certainly the EPA under Clean Air and Clean Water acts. These ever tightening regulations and taxes are driving all companies abroad where these constraints aren't present. The King claimed just prior to his stealing a second term that he had in fact increased jobs but he failed to address that all of these so called jobs were low paying service and part time jobs. Manufacturing continues to decline and I don't see a way out for this country. Our system is completely broken.
