"Workers rights have been trampled in dust yet again by those greedy global corporations." Corporations are owned and managed by their shareholders, so to the extent corporations are guilty we are all guilty, as most of us directly or indirectly own stock in multi-nationals. You can't put enormous pressure on corporate management to beat earnings by a penny, and then expect them to lose any sleep over offshoring some jobs. How come nobody ever protests against CNBC?

Torte reform and rational EPA rules. Get oil from Alaska. Build nuke plants. The changes to the cost of doing business will dramatically improve the prospects of capitol investment for manufacturing in the US.

>The point is not to directly control rather it is to eliminate tax incentives that encourage offshoring of American jobs. We need to reverse that process & grant tax incentive to companies that keep jobs at home for American workers. This rush to think of entire world as the ultimate shopping mall does not fly with the majority of the planet's inhabitants whose survival depends on 'local' jobs. In fact, only those multi-national corps who currently strive for their own company's global market monopoly, perceive the 'one world vision' as paradise. >Workers rights have been trampled in dust yet again by those greedy global corporations. Preach on, Sister Ann! I'm a big fan of the idea of tax incentives for companies that hire workers here. -Z
