A drop in the bucket.

Let us know when the US stops the outsourcing of jobs by private companies like Dell, etc.  Now THAT would really mean something to the US worker who has seen his or her job disappear out of the country.

I am far from a commy.

I think this will hurt companies on the long run, hell Dell just pulled support for the corperate systems sales back into the US becuase the service was so poor they where losing sales.

Regular Joe consumer is not that lucky with Dell yet.

I want jobs in America protected from cheap unskilled labor in  third world nations, I fail to see how that it a comunist Idea.

You cant really stop companys from outsourceing. Unless the people of this country start boycotting companys like dell or delta, they will continue to outsource.
They can however punish companys that do this through taxes.

That is a socialist idea for sure though. Capitalism is letting these corporations do whatever they like with no government interference.

 Yeah you can stop them hell pass this bill for everyone not just the feds. It will never happen.... but it could...

It may be a borderline socialist idea, but we have that that in our lives everyday. The gov sets rules for corps all the time.

This would help the job market in the US alot, and customer would get better service.

When American farmers grow stuff at such low price that they undercut other nations and they complain about it - what do we say ? "f--k them, we can do it better and cheaper then those handsomehunkes".

When Indian programmer can do same as US programmer but cheapter, we're "protecting our workers" ?

You can't be for free trade only when it benefits you gents. One way or the other.

"You can't be for free trade only when it benefits you gents. One way or the other."

Sure you can.  It may not be right.  But then imho nether is sending all of our non survice jobs over seas.

Think soon you will need a college degree to work at a drivethrew.  Becasue all the rest of the jobs will be in india.

[Yeager]

Stop whining and develope the next emergent technology or industry and lead the world, instead of whining about the job you had stapling paper together for $45 an hour that mysteriously went to India where a triple doctorate is doing the same job for $5 an hour.

[OIO]

isnt the fed gov. the biggest employer in the US? 2% could very well be like 30% of what private companies employ.

[FUNKED1]

Great to see the small-government laissez-faire party promoting free trade.

Finally, a Leftie speaks the truth.  If you all will take a peek out your window,  you may catch a glimpse of a pig flying:

Taxes = Punishment.   We always knew what the Leftist motivation was for shaking-down the productive members of society .  They just wouldn't admit it.....

Oh yeah, forcing a company like Microsoft to keep jobs here by closing tax loopholes when they paid less than 2% in taxes on some 25 Billion in profits last year is a real shakedown.

Some of the major corps. are using these loopholes to pay what should be considered as less than what should be owed is common. Worse yet, some companies get tax credits making their tax burden less than 0%...and they still outsource to offshore labor.

I cant recall a single tax incentive that has been enacted that rewards a single company to keep american labor?????????????
