The problem with labor unions, minimum wage, etc, is that they play on people's beliefs on how things
should be, so people tend to neglect to look at it in a positive way (if this happens, then this.) The fact is people respond to incentives,both negative and positive. Higher taxes /costs here mean people will look for a cheaper way to do it.
Labor unions=!minimum wage laws in the strictest sense, but it kinda is the same thing. Isn't weird how labor unions are some of the strongest supporters of minimum wage hikes?

In terms of lax tax enforcement, not really sure how you'd enforce American laws in other countries,unless you're just adding tax on to prices of goods, but that's really just the American consumer paying.
