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

This laissez-faire attitude that conservatives have about "less government" is the reason why this country is slowly going down the hole.

This shallow way of thinking is the reason why entire factories are literally going overseas EVERYDAY and NOBODY is stopping it from happening!

Many Democrats have mentioned that this is one of our biggest economic problems, but the Republicans don't seem to mind. Their rich buddies are loving it so why bother?

Let me explain what my point is:

When somebody wants to immigrate to the United States, they have to fill out an application, pay a fee and wait for their visa to be approved. From what I understand, it takes a very long time before an immigrants is permitted to come here.

One of the reasons why is for security reasons. But another reason, I believe, is to control how much money is going out of this country.

When somebody immigrates to this country in modern times, they usually intend on working here and sending a lot of that money back to where they came from.

This is WHY so many immigrants have to wait a long time before they're allowed to come here. But just imagine what would happen if the waiting time was much shorter. Or what if there was no waiting time? You just fill out an application and POOF, you can work here!

We would have millions of people coming into this country each month with the sole intent of working to send that money back overseas! That would be a recipe for economic disaster!

Allowing companies to send all their jobs overseas is like letting ANYONE and EVERYONE to come into this country to work with no oversight. There's a lot more taking than giving! I believe that's called a TRADE DEFICIT.

What I don't get is why the government won't regulate the entire process of sending jobs overseas. They should require large corporations to get PERMISSION before they send a factory or even their customer support overseas.

The government should also fine these companies and make them ineligible for certain tax cuts. If we do that, we might be able to get this economy back on track!

Don't get me wrong here. I'm not COMPLETELY against jobs going overseas. I just think it's gotten out of control. Most of you would agree with me on this one.

We have an enormous TRADE deficit that's slowly sending this country down the drain. I think it's sad that this country has to rely on stimulus in order to maintain itself.

Large Corporations are the enemy! And the Republicans are the enemy as well because they support what these corporations are doing!

Most large corporations are driven by WEALTHY investors that only care about making money. Maybe they should read a book on business ethics because what they're doing is unethical!

The duty of corporations and wealthy people should be to MAINTAIN the economic environment that has made them rich in the first place!

But instead, they'd rather ruin the economy by sending jobs overseas because it's more profitable for them.

They're not satisfied with a GOOD profit. They want the MAXIMUM profit which they're willing to acquire by ANY legal means − even if it means that millions of people are going to be out of work.

And most top executives don't seem to mind either. Why should they?

And if they don't listen to what investors want, then they'll probably end up losing their job! And you wouldn't want that to happen, would you?

And I'm sure they're loving their huge bloated salaries, killer bonuses and outrageous dividends that they DON'T NEED. In my opinion, if you're worth over $10 million dollar you're RICH ENOUGH.

What about those that are struggling? What about those that still haven't made it yet?

THEY DON"T CARE.

And EVERYONE who supports the Republican party doesn't care either! Stop blaming the Democrats. You're ruining your own country.

 

Why shouldn't we let people come here with no oversight?

 

Your questions are based on a whole lot of bad information.....

 

Corporations are going oversees because the dollar is rapidly losing value. When you devalue currency, you export jobs. Also the environment for business isnt exactly friendly here due to KEYNESIAN regulations

 

China is exporting jobs with their devaluing of their currency.

 

If they like it they can leave. We don't want greedy business's here. There needs to be protectionism before free market.

 

If your looking for a country that controls peoples private businesses and who they can and cant hire i would suggest moving to Cuba, i hear its beautiful this time of year...

 

At least povery levels are below US.

 

Cant help crack heads that dont wanna work and drink 40's all day.

I have always done just fine.

 

What there needs to be is a fair playing field. We would not have to send jobs out if we were not importing goods made by those who do not play on a simular firld as we do.

We have anti-trust laws for a purpose, yet we allow big outside monopolies in through retaliers.

 

Perhaps a complete lack of authority and the realization that it would kill a lot of international operations.

 

I agree, "free trade" should be only with other nations who share our standard living.

 

What an utterly asinine statement.

 

Its a fact.

 

By what standard?

 

I do not mind that we have reasonable regulations to protect the environment and workers. I do not agree with dictating wages or prices.

 

Why don't we regulate which types of businesses should exist while we are at it...

 

And political ideologies, and religions, and races, and ethnicities....

 

Ya cause Government always knows best...duh

 

Golly, the central planning has worked so incredibly well for Cuba, Venezuela, China in the old days, the USSR, and Albania. Golly, yes, that's what we should have in the U.S.

If the liberals continue their push, we'll be building those walls on the borders to keep people in and shoot those trying to escape.

 

We need to put a limit on imported goods. We do it with cars and the Japanese and Koreans build factories here. We should do it with most durable goods. Companies would flock back to the U.S. claiming patriotism but in reality for money.

You will not solve the problem until it becomes a solution involving money...that is what business understands. You could reduce taxes on corporations in this country, get rid of stupid regulation, and still bring in more money for the government because people would be working and paying taxes.

 

And they would raise prices.

 

Don't you know how prices work >_< We make them work the way we want to.

 

And who can open them...after all, the politically connected deserve some bennies.
