Reply #218: By which reasoning, no state should ever attempt to pass their own laws [View All]

California has certainly lost businesses to other states who have weaker labor and environmental protection laws. According to you, it was a dumb idea for them to pass those laws in the first place? If that were the case, then every state should compete in a downward spiral of reduced regulation in order to attract business. How long do you think it would take before we hit bottom and simply allowed businesses to dump toxic waste anywhere they liked and keep their workers in slave labor camps?
