Do you really think that with a tax cut business would create jobs in THIS COUNTRY? Tax cuts worked in the past in the era before companies sent their factories overseas. It does not seem that a tax rate cut would offset the pull of cheaper costs elsewhere.

It would really help if business management would state that they rehire those laid off if they received a rate reduction. Right now we only hear from politicians and we know how reliable they are.

Yes, but of course there are other pro-American Business steps to be taken, please share your ideas far and wide, and our security has been very reliable over other countries, minus what McCain and the amnesty crowd are trying to do

Of course they would. Cheaper wages abroad aren't the only factor in siting a business. Extraordinary levels of corporate taxation and regulation are major impediments.

Manufacture is helped by low wages, but also by low taxes, sane levels of regulation, good infrastructure, an educated workforce, reliable energy, a culture that protects and respects property, a stable and non-arbitrary government and a short supply chain to the ultimate consumer.

America has most of these. Its high corporate taxes, insane EPA regulation and arbitrary seizure of property (see: General Motors) are all fixable.
