You say give to those in need and yet say don't give jobs to others outside America. I say all are competing for jobs and creating laws that force a company to not have flexibility and have extra expense will cost jobs. If the work can be done as well by someone somewhere else then they have the right to offer the service. That's fair. In America the government pays for lots of infrastructure. That investment reduces the operation cost of American companies and is like a subsidy. If other countries do alternatives that's life. Individuals are free to make moral choices. Ceo's and boards of directors and stockholders can express opinions on what is moral and what is not. And all individuals are free to chose to use or boycott or invest or not. But passing laws will not protect any but those who are dishonest and know how to work the holes in the law. I personally just want independence from the dumb ineffective rules and regulation that will be created by your proposed course of action. As to caring of others. I speak out about your whining victims mantra and say look to the future and prepare. I don't use the expression, the stupid expression, "Should American firms " Individuals in American firms should be allowed to make the choice of what is best. And they should be protected from morally judgemental piss-ants telling them what they can and cannot do. It's clear you are in your mind this morally superior mind and soul reading ass. You know and pass judgement on others morality and how they care for others. I just see it as another facet of your stupidity and ignorance.
