Ted, > Not if the vast majority of capital investment and job growth is in foreign countries which has been happening all too often in the past ten years. One of the primary reasons for this is too much regulation here in America. Which of course goes contrary to the Democrats' party platform, which assumes that the economy needs more regulation.

Not if the vast majority of capital investment and job growth is in foreign countries which has been happening all too often in the past ten years. Your statement isn't clear. A strong majority of all investment would be expected to be outside the US. After all its 80% or so of the world's economy and 95 or more percent of the world's population, and also a lot of the world is playing catchup to the US. If you mean the vast majority of investment by Americans is outside the US, and has been for the past 10 years, then you would be wrong. Also you have to consider that we get foreign investment in the US, capital flows aren't one way. Also US investment in foreign countries has a positive return for Americans (if perhaps not in the short run, unless its a very short run investment, really more trading than investment).
