The keystone of America is freedom, and that includes the freedom to move your business anywhere around the world one would choose.

Once you move your business from a free country to a communist, socialist or totalitarian dictatorship, do you expect the American people to protect it for you? To make sure you don't get ripped off by the communists? To pay you for your business if revolution destroys it or government takes possession of it? If pirates attack the ships carrying your goods?

What is your compact with the American people in return?

Certainly not. Nor do I support that bill, forget its name, which guarantees U.S. companies which choose to locate overseas.

What I do believe, however, is that there is a lot, a lot of downside to moving a company abroad.

Confiscation of the entire business, for example.

There is also possible armed revolution to consider. Poor labor, and poor supply chains to get raw materials.

Moving a business to the third world is not this panacea that everyone paints it out to be.

A businessman must calculate all the risks. Some are worth it and some are not.

But we as American citizen business owners should be free to make that choice.

Furthermore, for all those people who hate foreign products, consider that fact that each time you vacation overseas, you are sending more money $$$ to foreign countries than I likely spend on foreign products here in the U.S. in one year, expecially for an expensive $8,000-$10,000 vacation, which is not that unusual these days.
