Senate GOP Block Vote on "Bring Jobs Home Act"

[Truthseeker420]

It’s a pretty sad day in our country when yesterday the United States Senate, during an endless “depression”, in the words of economist Paul Krugman, refused even to vote on a bill to end the huge tax breaks for all those American and Multinational Corporations shipping American jobs overseas to China, the Philippines, India, Cambodia et al, where workers are paid pennies an hour. Although 56 Senators voted to end the filibuster debate preventing the bill from coming to the floor for a vote, 44 Senators were enough to sustain it

What was their stated reason for not voting for it ?

They said it would have complicated our tax code. LOL! As if it is not so full of loopholes for the rich already that it looks more like Swiss cheese than a rational and systematic piece of legislation.

This is the only reason they gave..
