Exploring Foreign Trading Partners, CEI's Mission, and the Moore Case

States generally have Canada or Mexico as their largest foreign trading partners due to their significant trade relations, but Nevada's largest foreign trading partner is Switzerland, primarily due to the country's substantial purchases of precious metals. The Competitive Enterprise Institute (CEI) aims to address the imbalanced relationship between the American public and the government, particularly the overreaching regulatory state. CEI focuses on reforming the regulatory system to enhance transparency and accountability. The Moore case, recently decided by the US Supreme Court, involved a couple caught in the mandatory repatriation tax, a provision aimed at addressing wealth parked overseas. The couple had invested in an Indian company manufacturing hand tools for subsistence farmers and got entangled in tax complexities, showcasing the unintended consequences of tax legislation.
