'Pres Bush should urge congress to close the tax benefit for outsourcing jobs. That would take one more powerful argument out of John Kerry's hands'

i listened to jack Welch on fox and a few other ceo's said Kerry plan would not stop outsourcing.

for example a company just relocated 250 jobs to Hungary and Venezuela. I expect these were political moves nothing to do with economics per say (long term very profitable if business grows because of these moves). It is a move by international companies to be more international and not a company with a United States of America label on them to remain competitive in those countries ,its to be better able deal with governments in those countries, its to blend in during political conflicts. For a long time since early 80's many international jobs americans performed were replaced by local citizens. It was obvious if you are to succeed in a foreign country you need employees to represent you that feel a part of the company and the company has to blend into that country.

What about all the jobs coming from foreign countries to the united states, honda, toyota, various tech companies,

ps kerry doesn't address the alternative many of these companies would face ,,, go out of business,,,

There should be NO tax benefits for outsourcing jobs.

That being said, it seems outsourcing is here to stay.

It started with auto parts in the 70's, textiles in the 80's and most recently, IT stuff and customer service.

No matter how much Americans scream for American jobs, Americans also demand the lowest price for everything.
low price dictates , foreign goods, foreign labor.
