Youre probably right, everybody knows the more conservative a person outside, the more perverted inside, like the way people who dont like gays are arse-bandits themselves.

Well usually Ann Coultier doesn't complian about jobs being outsourced. However, some Americans are very stupid. They want to take advantage of inexpensive products from over seas, but don't want to face the possible consequences of international trade.

redmenace: it doesn't help that the sitting administration's tax policy that has been enacted into law gives tax cuts to firms that outsource

kerry's position was not discouraging it, but also not encouraging it

he was going to remove the tax incentive to outsource

Let be accurate, these "tax cuts" have existed for a long time.

There is indeed a tax break for US-based multinational corporations to locate operations overseas. Bush isn't to blame for it -- it's been there for decades. It's also true that Bush doesn't support Kerry's proposed remedy, which is controversial.

Let cut the rhetoric please. Here is an semi-biased source. It explains the issue pretty well.

Currently, companies that engage in offshore outsourcing pay taxes in the countries in which they outsource, and then pay the United States the difference between those countries' tax rates and the 35 percent U.S. corporate tax. The companies receive U.S. tax credits for the taxes paid in foreign countries, so they're not taxed twice on the same income.

Eliminating the foreign tax credit would "make it impossible for U.S. companies to do business abroad," says professor James Hines, research director for the office of tax policy research at the University of Michigan. "If he's talking about eliminating the foreign tax credit, it's ill-advised policy."

I don't want this thread to be about outsourcing. Especially when I just finished an entire semester of research into the issue.
