The only way to to put America first and keep our jobs here is to impose heavy fines or taxes on those companies that move. Make it much more expensive to move and they will stay right here in America.
Which is what we did until reagan imposed conservative economics on our nation.
That's what Tariffs are. Pretty sure you are against those. o.0
No, tariffs are passed on to the consumer. The corporation doesn't pay those tariffs. So there is no incentive for a corporation to keep those jobs here in America.
We did impose those tariffs. The jobs kept leaving.
I do support tariffs. Reasonable tariffs. If a nation is going to impose a 30% tariff on our products sent to them, we should impose the same 30% tariff on their goods sent to us. I don't believe that tariffs should be used to keep jobs in America. Mostly because that doesn't work.
Impose real fines on the corporation. On their revenues above a certain level. On ever penny that they generate.
If they know that they will lose 50 to 70% of those revenues above a certain level to taxes they have no incentive to move our jobs to other nations.
If they know that they will pay three times the FICA and FIT taxes on jobs they move to other nations, they won't move those jobs.
If we make those corporations pay many times the social security, medicare, medicaid, workman's comp taxes for every job they move for as long as the job is in other nations, that company won't move the job.
If we impose FIT taxes that force them to hand over up to 70% of their revenues after a certain amount to taxes that company won't move to other nations to generate those revenues above a certain amount.
It's very simple. Make it extremely expensive and impossible to pass that expense onto the consumer.
Imposing those taxes on revenues, not profits, will do just that. If you don't know the difference between revenues and profits then you have no business being in this conversation or any economic conversation.
The jobs will stay in America.
The low taxes, no regulations, low wages and little protections for workers here in America have not worked. The jobs keep leaving.
Why keep doing what you know won't work and expect it to work?
That is stupid.
Intelligent people knows what works. We did it for decades. Until conservative economics took over.
Wake up and see what is right in front of your face.
