Self reliance Bill. Depending on government to cure all the ills of business creates 2 things; regulatroy drag and dependance. Businesses and people must ultimately rely on their own wits to evolve and survive.....example.
The flint arrowhead makers are pretty much all gone, replaced by new tchnologies. Likewise, buggywhip manufacturers and whalebone corset makers.
Taxes have played a role in outsourcing, no question. But, in my opinion, government needs to create an atmosphere that is condusive to doing business and attracting new business.
There are limitless opportunities in new technologies like computers, space, hydrogen manufacture, storage and distribution....cellular technology. The future is here Bill, government needs to maintain a low profile so we can push ahead.
