These are all labor market distortions of one form or another. They would increase unemployment among other things. I wanted to see where you drew the line.

So too with any "anti-Deporting hi tech jobs to India legislation" - costs and/or unemployment increases.

I see that you were an enthusiastic Reagan voter. Reagan started with a bad economy. Why wasn't he forced to "protect" US jobs in this way?

I just did my taxes for 2003. My income dropped alot (26,000), so much that I paid negative taxes to the state and the feds, lol. That is correct all the money that I got was tax free. Amazing to see the swing from 2002 (136,000).

If you can live off 30K a year and you have family do it. The government will give you alot of money back. I got 7K back on my refunds.

Maybe this is the way we can fight the out sourcing to India.

I was pretty suprised when Turbotax ran the caculations.
