"International Outsourcing: The ability to pay wages to individuals and concerns outside the United States, beyond the reach of the Internal Revenue Service. "

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.

We need to "replace" the taxes of american workers and american factories, with a new tax of non-resident workers of global companies and a tax of global companies who produce elsewhere and sell their goods here. End the income taxes completely on american companies and american workers. The taxes we get from indian and chinese workers and factories in mexico and asia, would be more than enough to finance our government. We would win both ways.

I believe that would be tariffs. One almost forgets that our founding fathers started this nation out by exacly what you referenced and that income taxes were not required until the the mid teens of the last century.
