Absolutely agree here bob, before I continue I have to say I’m an Englishman and not an American, but I follow the USA with great interest as England , Britian has the same problem, where a privilege few have shut shut down home industries to look for more personal wealth abroad, at the loss of jobs, a devaluation of communities, povety, all leading to assorts of domestic problems, we won’t go there right now, but I have to say there has to be a basic right of employment for the man or women of any country before that money and employment is taken away off shore to the benefit of another country and those few privilege wealthy elite and in the process those few become wealthy and the average boys and girls at home become poorer,
I absolutely agree with President Obarma these guys should get no breaks, but more so I believe a register would be of interest to see who these people are and who they support, it would be good see our Prime Minister take a similar tact, and look after Britian, home comes first, There must be some sense of parity, and the excessive greed by those few must be held accountable.

I sell on ebay world wide. we need fair trade to fix this.
This is a fact:
ALL country’s tax their imports except one country USA!
Mexico charged 20% custom taxes of USA made goods prior to NAFTA After NAFTA they took away the custom taxes now they charge 20% VAT Same tax different words! Brazil charges 100% of item & S&H! So something that costs $100 + $25 S&H actually costs them $250?? Brazil can’t pay these prices! Now they want to expand the NAFTA “success” to South America?? Tip: Want to go the Brazil for free? Load your suit case with American Cosmetics (they love them) We sent Billions to Brazil so they can drill for oil to be sold to China Now China sens containers full of product but we send back empty containers. China can’t afford our goods either because of their import taxes.

Prior to Word War II the USA did not do income taxes. It was ran off of Excise Tax on booze land sales & import taxes. These extra income taxes were to be temporary to fund the war. Some think there is USA import taxes now but check for yourself! Ask your old time letter carrier if they EVER collected them! Ask your FedEx UPS driver if they EVER collected them. THE ANSWER WILL BE ALWAYS NO!! Virtually ever other country in the world does collect them. NOT HERE!! Pass to word on!

Some say we can’t do import taxes it will raise prices. This may be true. But higher taxes to pay the cost for the unemployed does too. And what good is a low price if your out of work & can’t pay it?? If Brazil wants to charge 100% tax for our goods & S&H, let us do it on theirs! If Mexico wants to charge 20% for our stuff let get rid of the non-working NAFTA & start charging 20% on their stuff. Lets do the same tit for tat on all the other country’s. First reaction you will get from them “HEY wait! lets talk about it this! it will put our people out of work!” Our response, “lets do! Reduce your import taxes & we will do likewise”

If your a guy who want’s to manufacture a product, common since you want to do it where you will turn the most profit. You make it where you have less taxes & labor. Where a large part of tax revenue is from imports and the labor is less because people are not taxed much. You have heard many times in these country’s how money gos much further.is one reason why people there are paid less & taxes are low.

So they have already exported most of the jobs outside the USA because of NO IMPORT TAXES. Now they want to export USA based company’s that have earnings outside the USA too? What will they think of next?

PLEASE investigate what is said here & pass the word on. I see everyday how come we have lost jobs. I’m not a economist or a elected official. WHY CAN”T THEY FIGURE THIS PROBLEM OUT?? And even talk about this solution??

Here’s another tax policy that won’t reverse the trend of offshore outsourcing that is the key reason for high unemployment. These U.S. companies could careless of not being given tax breaks, they compensate lack of tax breaks with profit from cheap labor and from all the other incentives they derive offshore. The trend in offshore outsourcing will not be curbed until global wage meets up with that of developed countries. As developing countries produce more educated and highly skilled worker, agitation for comparable wage will spurn a revolt that will result in equitable global wages. It’s only a matter of time, before US companies begin to bring back their subsidiary companies back to the US, as the dividend of cheap labor can no longer be derived. Until then, the trend of offshoring outsourcing will remain irreversible.

It is understandable to look for ways to increase profits from the corporations’ point of view, but at what cost? Obviously U.S. governments and corporations knew about the consequences of their actions by allowing the outsourcing of jobs to other countries. I ask, what was their objective?, probably something like this: Let’s produce cheaper goods and bring them to the U.S. market where consumerism is among the highest in the world, or at least while consumers in the U.S. still have money and willingness to buy.

Many U.S. companies with operations overseas producing their goods at low operations costs are just increasing their inventories because no one is buying them.

Some companies are working to move back some jobs from offshore (AT&T) or Wal-Mart creating new jobs for US Citizens. I lost my job last month, I work 4 years for a company that are in a good sector of the economy but still moving hundres of jobs to increase earnings, at least will stop until the economy recovers.
