By Kerry threatening to punish companies who outsource, isn't he forcing people to outsource before he's possibly elected? This Forbes story talks about Reuters moving a few jobs to India.
what's the difference? if you get 4 more years of bush, he'll make it easier and easier for companies to outsource. if we want to make the tax code simpler, we should get rid of the loopholes and collect taxes that are due to us. and if we don't want those taxes, then cut them, but don't use some shady assed loophole scheme to pass them through under the public's nose.

outsourcing isn't something that we can truly stop. it wouldn't be good for our economy to start a trade war, and it'd cost us jobs in the long-run. but one thing kerry has offered were tax incentives for companies to set up shop here, in america. if you check his site, he explains these incentives in detail. i look at bush's site and he offers no plan on creating incentives for companies to set up shop in america.

Does anyone here believe that the economy would progress if the goverment were to stop managing the economy?

Would like to know who here believes that it will!
it depends on what they're trying to manage. for instance, i support a minimum wage and child labor act - two examples of government "managing the economy". their mercantalist policies should end however.


hope for america...
