Tariffs penalizing labor imports no matter who they're from. Non-punishment incentives would include increased tax relief for offering healthcare, relaxing of burdensome regulation, quicker depreciation schedules for worker operated equipment...things that make employing people here easier and more affordable for business. In the long term any lost tax "revenue" is recouped by having more people paying taxes. IMHO, it's way better to have way more people paying a little, that a few people paying a lot.
No one said corporations are evil other than you. They are put into the outsourcing position by unfair trade policies that allow countries who ignore basic human rights like China, or near slave wage paying foreign business to flood the US markets. It's not enough to have trade. You have to have FAIR trade. The only thing free trade does is reduce our standard of living to the lowest bidder. -- Bush is a Fascist. Republicanism used to be about individual liberty and smaller government. Bush represents neither. He is a religious zealot who is looking to turn this nation into a theocracy. I'm a life long Republican who will vote AGAINST Bush. |
