International Outsourcing:

The ability to pay wages to individuals and concerns outside the United States, beyond the reach of the Internal Revenue Service.  The outcome results in more out of work US citizens and less revenue for the US Treasury, a win win in anybody's book.  Even when US citizens find jobs, those jobs are likely to be service sector jobs, the fastest growing least financially rewarding and benefits providing jobs in the nation, often only available on a part time basis.  Full time employees are just so costly and unwarranted.

Solution: Switch from a tax system based on local (this country) income to one based on tariffs.

By jove, an idea. Maybe we should require separate Income Tax Returns from those shipping into the U.S. Maybe that would provide a tax load to equalize what US Corporations have to carry in their costs.

Outsourcing your bottom three items was impossible then, due to the early stage of development of the Internet, and global telecommunications in general. The advance of telecom is what has made all this possible.
