Only offshore? Lots of companies outsource to other American companies. And lots of those companies have subsidiaries offshore that do work for their American counterparts.
Your solution is unworkable, and will only encourage that the work be shifted to subsidiaries of American companies, which can then be easily imported back.
Promote instability and chaos in the third world.
This is the stupidest comment of the day so far.
Why don't we lower some of the economic barriers to competition that we've erected? Union contracts, environmental regulations and corporate taxes should be reformed first, before we start "promoting chaos in the third world."
Besides, how much more chaos would you like to see? There's plenty, it seems to me.
Who is we, you got a frog in your pocket or what?
The Boomers are in control, the pubbies have all three branches of gov, what are you waiting for?
Lead, follow or get the he!! out of the way, people are watching your progress closely.
The main economical barrier should be the national border. Taxes on worker's income should be lowered (remember this is not a profit, most of it is spend on cost of living while corporations are not taxed on their costs of existence) and substituted with taxes on imports (tarrifs) as Founding Fathers liked it.
Companies whose labor force is majority foreign (including outsourcing or sub-contractors) should be registered as foreign agents and prohibited from lobbying American lawmakers. Also they should not be allowed to contribute to the American elections.
