not surprised someone from NY wants to add another tax, that state is so fucked up with their retarded taxes
 
Allstate is the worst company I have ever had to deal with. I dropped them after 2 weeks. Do yourself a favor and find someone better before you get screwdd
 
It is established fact and has been well known for a few hundred years and even Adam Smith commented on it in The Wealth of Nations published in 1776.

It is like I'm living in crazy world with bubble people who can't pull their heads out of their asses and stop recycling the trite arguments of the middle ages.
 
Stupid idea.

Nobody wants these jobs in America, yet they will cost companies many times more to have them here. Yes, that's the idea behind capitalism.
 
this guy is serious?

we're going to put a tax on skilled labor that is bringing people up out of poverty in another country to look like we care about unskilled labor in here
 
This. Grasshopper.com that handles my PBX system has all US based customer service and tech support. I had some problems when I first got set up and if I had to deal with foreigners that I had trouble understanding I definitely would have just cancelled the service and moved on to a competitor instead.
 
So instead of trying to remove wasteful spending and legislation, we should add more.

"I ALREADY GOT DIABETES. MINUS WHALE EAT SOME SKITTLES"
 
you could make an argument that the pendulum swings too far each way.
for an example, if a company outsources too many jobs and it hurts customer service to the point of losing revenue...it was a bad move.
but imo the market should decide that....not governments.

Dont get me wrong, im not the person that says capitalism is the answer to everything. I just dont like the idea of protectionism
 
i mean seriously

the average unskilled call center person costs $15 an hour to employ

in india even if they cost $5 an hour to employ they'd have to do 40 calls an hour before they were similar in cost.

this is nothing but a tax to recoup lost income taxes to make shitty unskilled call center people in the us feel like someone cares specifically about them
 
How is it a stupid idea to encourage companies to keep jobs in the country they do business in? You do realize that all those people that "could" have jobs in the US doing those jobs would be paying taxes, the companies would also be remitting more taxes etc... There might be a slight imbalance for cost to employ people here but that could be partially offset by government tax incentives for hiring here.
 
so basically they want an excuse to suck even more money out of the hands of business/consumers

gotcha
 
except other countries are and already have been "retaliating" against the US, by imposing tariffs, demanding trade agreements that are far out of balance with the US, and insisting on foreign aid and payments from our government.
