    it doesn't surprise me that some republicans want to reward companies that ship Americans jobs overseas, all we have to do is put in the tax code that over 80% of employees must be US citizens or some such language to receive the tax cut

    companies that outsource our jobs are hurting America.. we make laws to prevent that like we do people that speed or what not... remember coprs are "people" too, we can pass laws that protect Americans from them disrupting society just like we can make speed limit laws to slow people down

    Yeah you could RAISE their taxes ....you could also crucify them or burn them at the stake....but its that kind on anti business Democrat attitude and policies that has caused the mass exodus of US Companies w/jobs to begin with......

    I would never want to leave this country......but the Democrat's war on Business is forcing us all out......

    .......so if your not out of a job yet--Keep Voting Democrat.

    What tax cut are you blabbing about? What Reward?

    Much like the President.....you should try running at least a lemonade stand or try signing the front of paycheck in this country.....

    ...you both would look a lot less foolish when trying to comment on something beither of you know nothing about.

    Tell us who wrote the tax code? You realize that some of this is pretty old and the dems controlled congress for 40 years until Gingrich don't you.

    Then here is Obama saying almost the same thing as Romney though Romney just wants to keep it revenue neutral.

    Obama proposes to lower the corporate tax rate from 35 percent to 28 percent while at the same time ending dozens of tax deductions. Businesses would end up paying tax on a larger amount of taxable income. Result: a higher aggregate business tax bill.

    Of course not. What would a vulture capitalist know about running a business that treats employees fairly and has a social conscience?
    In Romney's world, the people who aren't rich can just eat (*)(*)(*)(*) and die for all he cares.

    I'm still waiting to hear about tax breaks. Your link does not address that. Please read my posts here where I discuss repatriating money and what is the reason for doing that when the sales are made overseas by overseas offices.

    There are no incentives given to move jobs.

    Please show me where I'm given anything by the US govt for my overseas sales offices.

    It's admirable that you want to believe the liberal talking point but that does not make it accurate or correct. My kids believed in the Easter Bunny and tooth fairy and I encouraged that as well until they were capable of knowing better.

    Just like a kid, you'll get there someday and perhaps listen to folks who own businesses instead of still wanting to believe liberal politicians

    vc's know quite a bit about operational processes and how to run/grow businesses. If they didn't, the investors would not entrust them with their money

    do you even have the slightest clue as to what a VC does beyond what Debbie Schultz has told you?

    If I were a Dem strategist, I'd play that clip over and over and over again, on every network station I could get my hands on. That's a gold mine.

    About a 100X more than a Community Organizer who never ran so much as a lemonade stand much less a candy store.

    Romney has boogers with more business experience than Obama--The Most Inexperienced person in the room....regardless of the room.

    After listening what our Imbecile-in-Chief thinks of successful businessmen, I don't care who's going to replace him, so long as he's replaced ASAP. Simple as that.

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    “If you’ve been successful, you didn’t get there on your own. If you’ve got a business, you didn’t build that—somebody else made that happen.”

    In effect, Obama dissed America’s business community in general, and small businesspeople in particular. It’s unconscionable that a president of the United States would do this. His words were stunning and simply unbelievable. And they continue to resonate.

    That is true as long as the profits remain outside the US. Otherwise, it is taxed according to IRC 969.

    Because they can also claim a deduction for moving from Toledo to Boise.

    Hence the phrase . . .


    Is misleading.

    There is no incentive for shipping jobs overseas. It is the same deduction regardless of where the company "moves" to. Obama makes it sound like there is a special deduction that is enticing business to move overseas.

    I think Obama is referring to IRC 969 which allows profits from overseas to remain untaxed as long as the profits remain overseas.

    For those who are not tax experts, it is easier to describe it as a moving expense than an actual exclusion.

    exactly - this is a free market, everyone knows thats best for everyone - it sounds bad that 'jobs are being lost to other countries' but they have a competitive advantage - so either we provide something else, or we lose - and if we try to force the jobs / businesses to stay here, then we might as well just go back to the dark days of communist countries

    we have to actually win in the free markets - its not like we are granted victory or owed it - ask anyone in this business, they are going to do exactly what makes them more money, as they should

    and even if jobs are being pushed overseas, owners of the stock, those who work at the company etc. are all getting richer - people get mad when businesses do well, but what investments do you think are in your 401k?
