We live in a global economy and there is nothing you can do about it.

Surrender.

That seems to be the message I hear from the corporate world. Naturally, they want you to believe that. They will not be happy until we can all compete with China and India. Then, the jobs can return to America because the profit margin will be the same at home as they are abroad.

Do you honestly believe that bullshit?

Would they be so quick to move jobs overseas if our elected politicians did not give them nice tax breaks to do so? Now they want more tax breaks to bring their truckload of profits back to America? Don't you know that will create more jobs in America? Indeed, that is what they are saying and requesting.

Yes, you can move your jobs to China or Indonesia or wherever you want but that country should not expect to receive any special favors from our government. And you should not expect to receive any special tax treatment from our country for doing so. In fact, we could request that those countries offer no special favors to you. You should be treated as every other business in that country. Let them give you the tax breaks they want but do not look for the US Government to speak up on your behalf. That is what I would like to hear our government say to these scavengers for low wages and high profits. You're on your own. You do not have the blessing of the government.

Do you believe we live in a new global economy and there is not a damn thing we can do about it??
