Unfair Competition adversely effects all Americans. Small businesses are most vulnerable. When jobs are lost, the poor, the unemployed, and women are especially damaged. When private enterprises are replaced with less efficient government enterprises, national productivity and competitiveness are adversely impacted. When the tax base is diminished, all taxpayers are injured.https://i2i.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/i2i_building_facebook_1200x630.jpg1200630
