Why Doesn't The US Regulate Which Companies Can Send Jobs Overseas?

No they are going overseas because they can pay chinese and mexicans pennies on the dollar what they pauy american workers and not be arrested for it.

and to top it off, in repayment for sending all of the jobs of hardowrking americans to other coutries, their minions (Republicans) are going to tax them at less than 5% for the money they bring back to america from these factories.

 

Make, force, restrict, punish, regulate. . .

This mindset is one that leads to failure when dealing with humans. Humans automatically resist attempts by others to control them, especially the motivated types of individuals that tend to run corporations.

Not to mention that the amount of restriction has to keep increasing in order to fight the various work-arounds and loopholes that people come up with to bypass the regulations. Even then, people will still find ways to avoid compliance.

And then you have all of the unintended consequences of such actions. Policies like this would raise prices, lowering the standard of living of most Americans. Policies like this may either shift our buying to purely foreign companies, cutting the flow of money to US pockets, or work the US out of the global market. We'd lose many of our current export markets as they add similar restrictions against us. I'm sure their are many other unintended consequences that will likely result from these kinds of policies.

 

Would you fine Toyota if they closed a plant in Kentucky and opened one in India?

Would it be right to do that anyway?

Such a law would be about as effective as outlawing cancer.

 

No, because they are foreign companies.....American companies on the other hand who (*)(*)(*)(*) over the american workers just to get a few million more in profits should be punished......Indirectly in not directly.....We could add a new tarriff on american companies who manufacture their goods in China and Mexico to be sent back to America.

 

So what happens when the American company decides to base itself elsewhere? Pass a law preventing them from leaving? What happens when you have an American company get purchased by a foreign company? Do you prevent that then too to prevent a company from evading that law as well?

Just as American companies have production overseas, foreign companies produce products here. It's easy for an American company to just become a foreign company.

Not only would such a law be wrong, it would be easy to evade. It would also drive tax revenue out of the country.

Maybe you should start respecting the rights of others instead of trying to force people to do what you want.

 

Well they will lose access to all of their republican cronies backing and they will be replaced by forign companies who would be more than happy to come to america and give american workers jobs......I'm sure the people who lost their jobs because of companies like GM and Walmart getting al of their goods from China would not have any problem with it.

 

Republican cronies? GM? What?

Don't look now but the democrats have become the party of crony capitalism. Maybe if there wasn't so much crony capitalism and pay to play out of DC we wouldn't have so many jobs going overseas.

Or maybe we should just raise corporate taxes and pass more regulation and when jobs go overseas we just pass another law preventing them. That sounds brilliant!

 

Companies sent jobs overseas for the past 15 years...it got worse under Bush because of his "Let the holy corporate masters do what they want" policy...

and now the unemployement rate is over 10%... It's all the fault of the manufactureing companies who sent the entire manufacturing sector of the American economy to china....

In fact, it is rare to find a manufacturing company that is big enough to be considered "Big Business" that is owned and operated in america...

Hell evenwalmart, which their "American Made" slogan that they always pulled out of their asses produces all of their "Great Value" and Sam's Choice products outside the US.

They have the gull to call themselves a patriotic companies when they don't love the american people enough to keep the jobs here.

 

Well there is the problem. Apparently you think a job is created when a company loves a person very very much.

 

An american company that does not keep it's jobs in america should not be allowed tobenefit from being in america....We need to either allow forign companies to come and set up shop or make ie possible for small businesses to grow and prosper, which is something that republicans fight against, since they work only for big corporations.

 

Well, that wouldn't be fair to the corporations and CEO's though.

 

So what? If they CHOOSE to send american jobs overseas for the sake of higher profit, then they should be prepared to choose the trust of the american people and loose their place at the top of the corporate ladder. There are plenty of smaller companies would could replace GM and Walmart as the leading companies.

 

Again, it's not just Democrats who are owned by the Fortune 500 etc... If you want to find someone who is owned by a Big Corporation, look at a US Politician - of either party.

 

Why? BECAUSE WE'RE NOT COMMUNISTS

 

Because we aren't fascists?

Privately owned businesses can do as they please. We run on a free market, if outlooks are better for business in china then that's where the business goes.

Perhaps you should be thinking up ways to make it easier and more affordable to run a business in the US.

 

Most likely prices would go up and I have been waiting for that objection.

When most goods were produced in the U.S. were the prices too high?

Since companies would have to compete for workers wages would go up also.


And how much did prices go down with imports???...profit margins increased but prices did not go down much at all.

You can buy little with no job.

 

They don't need to export their jobs. They have cheap labor. Econ 101. Go read a book dude.

 

Right.

Wrong.

 

There is not a single example of a monopoly occuring in history without government privilege. Anti-trust laws are actually used by big corporations against small businesses. Anti-trust laws must be abolished immediately in order to reduce the likelihood of monopolies.

 

So, you think that we should lower our standard of living by not trading with all nations, just to make a point? Twisted method of thinking.

 

According to whose statistics? The Cuban Government's? LMAO! Don't you realize their statistics are flat out fabricated?

 

So what? That's the free market. I agree it's unethical that they're paying children pennies a day to do work that would cost hundreds of times the amount to do here. But Americans don't give a (*)(*)(*)(*) enough. They still buy everything Made in China. I guarantee you do too!

Inflation exports gold to other countries, and takes the jobs right with it. Whether you like it or not.

 

Next you'll be suggesting the government has a right to tell companies where they can build a new plant.

 

And then we have Americans like Dr. Righteous who are so self-righteous as children are left to starve.

 

Until congress defunds the agency, that is the system today
