Shipping more jobs overseas

This might be the reason why we keep shipping jobs overseas...

Our factories are full of laid-off workers and factory owners are tired of paying through the nose to meet EPA standards and regulations.

The Slinky Factory is a good example. The owner of the Slinky Factory cautions "Watch your steps!"

Currently, our government gives corporations huge tax breaks to ship jobs offshore.

A reversal of this policy, to offer huge tax incentives to corporations to hire US workers, to offset any benefit in wage reduction, would certainly be a good place to start.

There are some small fixes that can be done. They deal in making sure that taxpayer money in the form of government contracts are not awarded to companies that ship jobs overseas or even more tax breaks for companies to keep jobs here.

There is no jobless recovery, but all the jobs are created in India, Mexico, and China.

penalize companies that are moving jobs out of the U.S. such that moving jobs is no longer economicly viable, and that sort of approach would damage the economy as a whole.

Sounds like a Democrat plan.

Further punish companies so then they would move their entire operation overseas.

Great idea.

I prefer the carrot approach.
It worked for the southern states when they attracted companies away from the north and northeast.

Workers and organizations at all levels are tired of regulations. The goose that lays the golden eggs is about dead, being killed off.

So sorry,. Get used to it. "Body marking and piercing", "recreational sex", and perversion of all sorts is now "in".n These are atavistic behaviors of primitive people. "Truth", "honesty", and "integrity" is "out".

America, was probably lost during the period 1913-1918 (entry of Federal Reserve Banking with fractional money based upon "debt obligations", and the American Bar Association (British Lawyers Guild) which changed the USA bedrocks of Money and Law. That, followed by two world wars that pretty much killed oof the "true believer patriots", and the game was changed over. It has just taken this long for this counter-American-revolution to result in destruction of the country. Very sad affair. But that it has taken so long is a splendid testimony to the power of the "freedom and liberty" that built the origional America, by they way.

Had it been protected, things would have been different. But selfish behavior, and abandomment of "goodness" by Americans in all walks of life has resulted now in total, ornearly a total wipe out.

Very very sad.

How about Kissinger & those country club pubbies all hanging out in China, etc. No, this is a concerted effort by the "Two-Party Cartel". This cartel could agree on lunch but when their handelers push for their agendas they can pass trade agreemets faster than GW can call Islam a religion of peace.
