MD, For several years now, the feds have been giving "incentives" for businesses to "invest overseas". Laws making "offshore investment" more lucrativefor individuals and businesses are guaranteed to move jobs offshore. About the only "job creation" in the U.S. of A. today is paid for by taxpayer money. Such things as "privatized" prisons {Work camps for the increasing number of nonviolent docile prisoners.Free Market my ass. Peace and love, George.

I own a business in Maryland and they don't give incentives, they tax people out of the state. It seems like they come up with another "Registration Fee" of some sort whenever they want more money. Maryland even taxes labor in a few segments of labor, mainly the ones that are not represented by a Lobby group, Tree Service and Landscaping is 2 forms of labor they tax

That's just silly.

X number of prisoners require Y number of guards and other employees. Probably about the same whether the prisons are run by corporations or government. If anything, one would expect the corporation to operate more efficiently with fewer employees and therefore fewer jobs.

Well then it's time for the feds to start creating disincentives for locating overseas. Or harsh penalties. One of the two.

There is some hope - the slavery in USA was abolished only in part with the key exception of "a punishment for crime". So we if convict enought people we can have enough slave/prison labor to compete with China.
