Moves towards global economics were done by many politicians on both sides. Your convenient rememberance of history doesn't change that.
If Republicans "got rid of corporate taxes and regulations", didn't that make us MORE competitive with countries around the world that didn't have those taxes and regs in the first place, not less? You're barking up the wrong tree. Try again. This is just economics.
