The Obama administration is highly exercised about

FU Nobama!
Did you itemize your taxes?
Did you claim deductions?
Does your retirement portfolio include over seas investments?
You pay the least amount of taxes under the law, as do most of us.
Blow hard.
Besides, the amount of taxes reduced through inversion is a rounding error.
This is just you demonizing business once again.
Fascist plick.
I don’t know.
I believe there is a section of people, many of whom are militantly anti-American in trade, who want to make everything in Communist China, even though China owns a majority of all of the factories, bottom line.
Those are the people I am against.
They are currently in charge, in both parties it appears.
In my opinion the GOP needs to come back to supporting Americans first.
I fear the GOP won’t. And the Democrats will, strengthened from the “globalization” of formerly American factories, then tap into American economic patriotism, and toss the “globalists” out. For real.
This will bring back American manufacturing, but my fear is it will do so, by making leftism even stronger.
This is why I say, the Republicans need very much, right now, to be for returning factories to America.
Sure we need to work at making the laws more pro-business, but we primarily need to bring businesses back to America.
America first.
Krauthammer:
**What is maddening is that the problem is so easily solved: tax reform that lowers the accursed corporate rate. Democrats and Republicans agree on this. After the announcement of the latest inversion, Burger King buying Tim Hortons and then moving to Canada, the president himself issued a statement conceding that corporate tax reform — lower the rates, eliminate loopholes — is the best solution to the inversion problem.**
But will it happen with Obama in office?
Maybe I don’t understand what you’re trying to say... but I think America has the right to compete for jobs as much as any other country does. Why not America? As long as we create an economic environment that grows jobs, what’s the problem with America attracting jobs and bringing them back?
I love how they think of a “loophole” as some sort
of accident.
Marko.
How do we get business back to America without the $$green$$ "carrot"? Why would they pay standard or UNION wages when they can pay dirt-cheap wages abroad?
America first.
there is a that vast difference in competing for jobs and creating an isolationist economy that is not competitive internally much less externally.
We have tremendous competitive strength that has our people on the commercial playing fields literally all over the world.
Given the state of rapid obsolescence, we will not bring jobs back, rather we will create new jobs making new products currently unknown. We subcontracted manufacturing abroad because it was not competitive nor economical to do otherwise.
I suspect the batsh#t crazy base of the democratic party will never allow a serious discussion of the corporate tax rate to get off the floor.
That is the big question.
That is indeed the question, I believe the GOP should be completely focused on now.
How exactly does one bring back American businesses?
We need to bring them back. I am just asking, how can we do that.
Waiting for the democrats to do something, will be too late.
How can we bring back American factories, and American employment, now before the dems start worrying about this?
How can we make it profitable, for businesses to return to America?
We need to figure that out, and we need to do that.
Strategy? I have no Strategy.
Just read today that those living out of the US, increasingly renouncing their US citizenship due to taxes, used to be charged $450 by the state dept for processing that act. Mullah Obama now charged $2300.
There is only one business that does not try to control it’s costs and spending thereby improving shareholder value.
Yup. Governments.
=============================================
Give the businesses a break with taxes. Profit will motivate businesses. We all know that.
To give businesses a tax break we MUST elect CONSERVATIVE Republicans in our states and in both Houses of Congress.
The Democrats promise "free money" for those who won't work. There IS no such thing as "free money." It's ALWAYS on the back of the hard-working JoeSchmoeFromKokomo.
Our leaders absolutely MUST stop rewarding the lazy.
I completely agree with you, but first we need to stop shipping US jobs overseas.
We cannot pull support from under Americans, unless we are going to provide them with a productive alternative.
Bring back US jobs. (then at the same time, reward businesses for bringing back US jobs.)
But we much bring back US jobs, at the very least at the same time. We have sent away American jobs now for over an entire generation.
Bring them back. To America.
1. Overseas workers work longer hours and for less money while delivering the SAME quality. They USUALLY get
a. no benefits,
b. little time off,
c. no insurance,
d. no savings plans,
e. no breaks,
f. short lunches
g. and no overtime.
h. If they complain they have no union to whine to AND get canned.
i. They have no union recourse for "unjust" firing. They have nothing. They expect nothing.
========================================================
2. American workers want:
a. TOO MUCH money
b. TOO MANY benefits
c. SHORTER work hours
d. SHORTER work week
e. MORE vacations
f. LONGER vacations
g. MORE triple time overtime
h. numerous breaks
========================================================
3. American workers get good retirement, sick days, injury insurance, even savings plans.
========================================================
Pure and simple, American companies CANNOT compete with the overseas companies.
So, they close.
I strongly believe it is long, long, long past time for America’s government to start to pay attention to American workers.
But that is just me.
Bring back American jobs.
I'm with you.
-- However, it won't happen until wages go DOWN here and unions step away from their raison d'etre.
-- It won't happen until worker benefits stop costing so much. I don't BELIEVE that will ever happen. Costs always rise.
Our own local, state and federal American governments ARE the largest employer of Americans. It's still not enough.
I don't see things changing for American companies or workers. But, that's me.
“h. If they complain they have no union to whine to AND get canned.”
And in Singapore they might get caned, too.
sorry...
They are building a new Iron Curtain, to keep money where they can steal it. This wall is in cyberspace and the courts. But it’s every bit the wall the old one was.
If the whole country would just “go Ferguson” at one time then maybe we could adjust that demographic problem.
