Once Kerry is president he will punish companies which out-source, whether that be Heinz or any other company. Okay. As you suggested, I went to johnkerry.com. I looked for anything at all about punishing companies which outsource. I didn't find a single word about that. His detailed plan to fight for our economic future does contain some thoughts about outsourcing. He says: "Tax Breaks to Expand Manufacturing Jobs in the U.S. Over 2.7 million manufacturing jobs have been lost since President Bush took office. John Kerry will save jobs by ending the unpatriotic practice of U.S. corporations moving offshore simply to avoid paying their fair share of our nation’s tax burden. To create new manufacturing jobs Kerry will: * Get the Crane-Rangel-Hollings legislation enacted, which provides a corporate rate reduction to manufacturers who produce goods in the United States; * Propose a new jobs tax credit to encourage manufacturing companies to stay and expand in America. When a manufacturing company creates jobs above their 12 month average, the payroll taxes of the new employees will be refunded for two years. * Immediately restore and double funding for the Manufacturing Extension Partnership that President Bush slashed by 80%." Not a single word there about punishing companies for outsourcing. If you can find anythign I missed on his website which suggests, as you stated, that he will punish companies which out-source, please quote it. Otherwise, it's clear you don't know what you're talking about.
