Deny deductions and tax credits for expenses in transferring Jobs abroad? GOP says NO

Tax Incentives to Keep Jobs in U.S. Blocked in Senate

The 53-45 vote was short of the 60 needed to move the measure forward; four Democrats and independent Joe Lieberman of Connecticut voted with 40 Republicans against allowing formal consideration of the bill. Debate on the measure was tinged by partisan claims ahead of the Nov. 2 elections in which polls show Republicans are poised to gain seats in Congress.

The offshore-jobs legislation would waive for two years the 6.2 percent payroll tax for employees hired by U.S.-based companies to replace workers who performed the same job overseas. That would save companies about $1 billion in taxes over the next three fiscal years, according to the Joint Committee on Taxation.

The bill voted on today is S. 3816.

4 Democrats voted with ALL 40 Republicans. There are conservatives within the Democratic Party. Democrats don't vote in lockstep.

From 2001 to 2008, Republicans moved 2.4 million jobs to China. They will NOT give up that investment in Communist China without a fight.

What's the matter? Did Reid run out of bribes for the Democrats?

 

[Revere]

They could not even get Democrats to support it.

The Democratic Party is a coalition Party. It even includes "conservatives". Those 4 conservatives voted against American jobs. That's no surprise. Maybe, like the Republicans, they prefer Chinese?

This bill sounds like a good idea to me, I wish it would pass.

Though I am sure there is more to this story and why the Republicans and 4 Democrats voted to block it. That what you imply.

 

[Revere]

Nobody creates jobs only for the sake of avoiding payroll taxes, or 6.2% of their compensation.

Imply nothing. From 2001 to 2008 Republicans did everything legally possible to move millions of jobs to China.

Add the fact that they said over and over again they want Obama to fail and have attempted to block everything he has tried to do.

In fact, the same Senators who apologized to BP have blocked the president's commission on the BP investigation refusing to give the commission subpoena power. What can you do without subpoena power? Nothing. They don't want BP investigated.

And don't tell me to put up links. I already have a half dozen times. Go look it up.

So it's good they blocked it? It must have made somebody scarred.

 

[Revere]

As useless as everything else passed by Congress and signed by Obama.

Even Democrats could not pass it.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

Democrats still run everything, right?

 

[CrusaderFrank]

By any chance, are those 4 Democrats up for reelection now?

edit: Nope, they're not

Just because there are no liberal Republicans doesn't mean there are no conservative Democrats. The Democratic Party is made up of coalitions.

40 Senate Republicans. We call that "lockstep". I wonder if all those Republicans were white? Like 90% of the Republican Party.

 

[Revere]

I call that a worthless majority.

 

[Revere]

How'd that budget work out?

 

[Big Black Dog]

How can you blame this on the Republicans? The Democrats control both houses of Congress and could pass any bill into law they wanted to.

 

[Revere]

Until they self-immolated on Obamacare.

Surely you know better than to say something so retarded. You're assignment for today, go look up "filibuster".

Then look up "Conservative Democrats" and then, find out why the Democratic Party is a party of coalitions unlike the Republicans who vote in groups of "40".

 

[Revere]

"Poor baby. He doesn't know Democrats had to sell their souls to Blue Dogs to get their majority. The Blue Dogs stopped voting with the marxists when they realized the marxists would dump them overboard anyway," he replied.

That's all going to change in about two more weeks when the dumb-assed Democrats get "fired", i.e., voted out of office. I can't wait!

The CBO says the Health Care Plan will save 150 billion over 10 years.

The cost of a single visit to the emergency room is 600 dollars and if you are 40, over a thousand. And that's before they do anything. Just walking in through the door.

We, the taxpayers, pay that cost.

The cost to a clinic is from 60 to 200 dollars.

Just visiting the doctor over these emergency room visits is an enormous cost savings. The plan is filled with such cost savings.

I've posted a link to the bill many times. It is 1550 pages long, but it's a pretty easy read.

Read it.

Then come back and spew your nonsense, but at least you'll know you're an idiot, but you will at least have some talking points.

Just because Republicans say something doesn't make it true. If fact, if you assume they are lying, you will be more right than wrong.
