That's why there was much more prosperity. This idea that we can't raise taxes or they will take their balls and go somewhere else is preposterous. This idea that lower taxes make for a more prosperous nation with better services is also preposterous.

There isn't a single sensible regulation that has ever been proposed that corporations haven't declared as the apocalypse for their business. It started with outlawing child labor.

Oh look, businesses are still open without child labor.
