I think that's completely stupid at this point.
Only if you want to become less competitive in the world marketplace.
Huh? This makes no sense.
If taxes and regulation are reduced, the US becomes more competitive in
the world marketplace for labor and products.
We're already competitive.
Oh yes? You're not competitive on production of foodstuffs or you
wouldn't have tariffs & quotas to keep foreign producion out.
You're not competitive on production of energy or you wouldn't be
importing oil & gas.
You're not competitive on most manufactured goods or you'd be exporting
them, not importing them from China, Korea, Japan, Mexico etc etc.
You're not competitive in space because you've let a sclerotic
organisation **** away resources & money.
You're marginal at best in pharmaceuticals; ditto with biotechnology.
So - tell me just what *are* you competitive in? Other than production
of sophisticated armaments, which work wonderfully well for winning
conventional wars, but are useless against popular insurrection?

Ouch!
