ways we can combat outsourcing

[bripat9643]

Mr. Trump would and could never protect America because he is too busy protecting Trump and his fragile super ego. Trump is a loser and will stay that way until death.

How many Americans did Biden protect when he pulled us out of Afghanistan?

 

[Moonglow]

Sure you have influence. We wouldn't have the prius if it wasn't for leftwing morons like you.

I did write a thesis paper in 1980 while attending a physics class on the future use of hydrogen for automobile propulsion.

 

[Moonglow]

You're obviously dead wrong, plus your stupid.

Nope, you are still the braindead poster you've always been. Why are you ex-convicts all the same?

 

[Moonglow]

How many Americans did Biden protect when he pulled us out of Afghanistan?

How did Trump protect us when he surrendered to terrorist and withdrew 99% of the troops from Afghanistan?

Outsourcing has been a major issue since the mid 1900's. Major American companies make a habit of sending jobs to Mexico, China and other countries with lax labor protectiins and low minimum wage. Nike and Apple have both knowing used sweatshops and even forced labor to make their products in the past.

If we are going to stop outsourcing we need to take away the incentives that lead to it.

1: Ban sweatshop produced goods.
The first step is to ban the import and sale of goods produced in sweatshops ,with the requirement that the importing company shows verifiable proof that the products were not produced in sweatshops. We already do this with minerals, gems and precious metal (ie "blood diamonds). Jewelers are required to have proof that t gems they sell are mined in legimate mining operations.

2: Tax outsourcers at 50% or more
Republicans like to reward outsourcing with massive tax cuts. They claim that taxes are the only reason for outsourcing and cutting taxes will cause the companies to bring thee jobs back to the US(it never works.) I have a different idea. We make any American based company which produces more than a certain percentage of the goods they sell in the US outside of the US, pay a minimum tax of 50%.

3: Enforce labor laws internationally
This is simple. We require US based companies to pay federal minimum wage and offer the same benefits to workers in forein workplaces as they do in the US. If apple or GM owwn a factory in China, they have to treat those workers the same as they do in the US, and they have to show verifiable proof that they do so before products from those factories can be sold in the US

How do you tax outsourcing? so like if an american company ships products in tax those products? like a tariff almost on american companies by america? who do you think will pay for that?

if you want to limit outsourcing, figure out how to make it cheaper to do business in America, not more expensive

How about we keep the government out of our free market and let the consumer decide if they wish to buy only stuff made in America or not.

Why do so many people hate freedom and capitalism

what we've had over the last 50-75 yrs is not freedom or capitalism,,

 

[progressive hunter]

How did Trump protect us when he surrendered to terrorist and withdrew 99% of the troops from Afghanistan?

that was biden that surrendered not trump,,

 

[Harpy Eagle]

that was biden that surrendered not trump,,

why do you parrot this lie. Biden withdrew the last of troops, but Trump negotiated and signed the surrender agreement with the Taliban and took out more than 80% of the troops in country as his part of the surrender agreement

 

[Harpy Eagle]

Both have been limited for sure, but still not ready to live in another country. are you?

Well one way we can fight outsourcing is to...HAVE WORKERS TO DO THE JOBS, which is our actual problem today.

Do you often base your views on what lefties tell you?

yes, Biden did run in the middle of the night.

No, it was not Biden that left the weapons, those should have been taken out when we went from 14,000 troops to 2,500...but they were not for some odd reason

 

[Harpy Eagle]

By being a lap dog to the repubs...that is rich.

If stating facts is deflecting, sure run with that.

Wealthy people don't give a shit about protecting America they care about increasing their wealth at any cost.
