Obama's multinational tax policy could have an opposite effect
« on: June 09, 2009, 07:38:43 PM »
Typically, people think that increasing taxes on companies that export jobs overseas will force them to bring jobs back. However, as Microsoft CEO Steve Balmer put it, it will have the opposite effect. It it just me or does Obama's economists not see that?

I was checking out a new user and noticed he had already made a post.  It's a hard job.

He seems to have left already.

I skimmed the article he linked to, and it was a rehash of news articles combined into one.  He does have some valid points though.  Steve Ballmer has said Mickesoft will move people and jobs overseas. Several of the big tech companies are banding together to lobby against 0bama's tax grab.

TC, I normally would say something like, "Thank you Captain Obvious", but trying to get new members here.....well, that wouldn't be prudent.  :-)

There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value. Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site
