Here's what the answer is: If you place punitive taxes on U.S. companies that off-shore employees, then soon you will have no more U.S. companies.
There are two answers to that:
1) Companies that are interested in supporting American sales will not pull out of America. They survived and profited before outsourcing, and they will survive on American labor again (FYI, I firmly believe that the deliberate destruction of the American economy will be ended one day, either by legislation or rebellion. I have many bullets to fire before I will accept a third world standard of living in the name of "free trade").
2) If the companies pull out, I say good riddance. In a capitalist economy, new companies will spring up to fill the void. We just need to ensure that companies fleeing America aren't permitted to import their goods here anymore.
The outsourcing capitalists are playing a shell game with the American economy that, in the end, will cost everybody. To those of you who shug their shoulders and take such a "that's life" attitude toward the whole thing should read your history books...the people will not long tolerate a government that tells them to take thier oppression with a smile simply because it profits our corporate masters. Jefferson once said that all governments eventually become corrupt, and our own government is well down that road with the internationalists and Trotskyists invading the high offices and placing the good of the American people in a position secondary to their main goal...the imposition of a global economic and regulatory system under the thumb of the United States, in which a relatively small group of Americans will profit at the expense of their fellow Americans and the rest of the planet.

You speak of Trotskyites, yet your reply could've been written by Trotsky himself.

Google is LIBERAL Democrats. Don't you remember all the hubbub about how they set up the search indices to insult the President.
