oh bummer! Those companies are taxed accordingly through their states. Each business is taxed according to their particular unemployment figures which change yearly.
As I said one year my unemployment insurance tax tripled.

Don't worry! Be happy!

Paying the piper: China wants U.S. technology
'They have America over proverbial barrel due to debt'

China is applying pressure on the United States to lift export limits on technology with military uses, even as Beijing poses an increasing strategic challenge to the U.S., according to a report from Joseph Farah's G2 Bulletin.

The Obama administration, like the Clinton administration some years before, may go along with the further loosening of export controls, using the excuse of wanting to improve the trade gap between the two countries.

The result, however, will be to make it more difficult for the U.S. to remain ahead of China in the development of technologies that provide a military advantage.

China already regards the U.S. as its greatest strategic challenge and has attempted to contain the U.S. and limit access to critical strategic resources, especially in Africa and Latin America.

During the Clinton administration, many of the political appointees who now are in the Obama administration were instrumental through a major relaxation of technology export controls in providing Beijing with better intercontinental ballistic missiles, encryption and high-end telecommunications.

The Chinese have the U.S. over the proverbial barrel due to the tremendous trade debt the U.S. has with Beijing and the U.S. debt load China is carrying. Chinese officials already have threatened to limit that support as a result of the recent approval of $6 billion in U.S. military weapons for Taiwan.
