It's the USA government who has regulated and taxed small business to death that has caused all these issues! Add state tax to that and you can see why Texas is getting an influx of companies from CA. Companies overseas have a huge advantage to manufacturing then their products come here and are not taxed? We simply can not compete!

Fairly easy problem to solve. Our government is not working on it though... just want more power, more control, more taxs. Worried more about next election then fixing our issues? Opportunity for small business has been regulated and taxed to death, small companies can't compete with Walmart and others. Don't blame Walmart! Go to the source and blame government.

Even if you could afford to open small business, the economy is shot so there's no income for your product. There's still the point that your product can be bought from overseas cheaper... the circle of failure continues...

USA used to be a world leader in manufacturing! Unions, safety, regulations and taxs have gone wild and killed it. Yes they are needed, but we went extreme and used no common sense and put ourselves right out of business..

If we, the USA taxed products imported to US the same as we tax our own? It would be a fair playing field...
