A really important question has been coming up: How do we deal with the movement of jobs overseas?
I've heard the two major plans. One calls for mostly making the US more appealing to big businesses, and the other calls for punishing those businesses that ship jobs overseas through higher taxation.
I am positive which one I will choose to follow. I can not support a plan that would attempt to control businesses through forcing them to pay higher taxes (when US corporate taxes are among the highest in the world).
I guess I just have confidence that if we make our market one where businesses can thrive and stop trying to force businesses into doing what we want them to do, they will come to us. The USA was once a place where international businesses sought to be a part of. But today it is a place where the government is trying to turn a profit on these large corporations through huge taxes.
It can not be denied that the idea that we can force businesses to stay won't work for our best in the long run.
We need a tax plan that encourages businesses to come to us.
The US still has the largest well educated population and we still have huge spending power.
America would be a great place to do business if taxes weren't so outrageous.
Places like Dubai have shown how easily they can bring international businesses in through lowering taxes and creating free-trade zones.
If they can do it, we can too, we need to stop attempting to force businesses to stay, when that just won't work.
Globalization is the future, and if the US keeps sitting by letting the rest of the world grow while we just sit stagnant, the growth we have seen in the past will cease to exist.
