The bottom line is that lots of formerly hardworking people with no previous history of milking the system are now fucked and that sucks not just for them but for the country as a whole.



How about we have just those business owners who move their jobs to China (or some other shit hole) pay higher taxes and give commiserate tax breaks to those who don't?

That way it'll be no skin off the business owner's back to employ more Americans and America's tax base will grow.

It's like this: A corporate CEO's job is to maximize profits for his shareholders. Period. He's not paid to do what's best for the country as a whole, that's not his job. That's what the government is supposed to do with appropriate tax incentives, regulations and so on.

Problem is our government is about as useless as tits on a bull.

America's corporations and private business's are doing their job, but America's government isn't.

It's as simple as that.
