"I think what Kerry is talking about is enforcing taxes that would punish companies for off shoring(nothing to do with FICA), instead of keeping the jobs here."

Thanx but what taxes are we talking about exactly? My understanding it is FICA taxes. What taxes are they since you say it isn't FICA?

Well it could be the Social Security and Medicare only if he is looking to for the first time have foreign workers on foreign soil pay these taxes. Which would be absurd and probably illegal. I believe you have to have a Social Security number to be able to work and thus participate in these two taxes. The taxes that have "so called loopholes" Corporate Income Tax and Tax on Stock Dividends is driving companies headquarters and jobs off shore. Throw in rising Health Insurance and cost of other benefits that we as Americans have come to expect as a right to have. Just ask yourself how would he be able to enforce US taxes on non-citzens that don't work here, its one thing if the worker is here on a visa and is probably going to continue living here. But these foreign workers are working in their own country, pay the taxes of their own governments.
