ways we can combat outsourcing

[progressive hunter]

yes we did. we had been giving them weapons for 15 years. That shit adds up after a while.



Prove it.

as per the new rules proof is no longer needed or you would have provided proof of your claims,,,

 

[Harpy Eagle]

now that its over we know biden didnt talk to them and ran out in the middle of the night without telling them we were leaving,,

yep, we do know that, we know Biden fucked up his part of it. Again, we agree on Biden, not sure why you feel the need to keep going back to him....well really I do...anything to cover for your god's fuck ups.

Outsourcing has been a major issue since the mid 1900's. Major American companies make a habit of sending jobs to Mexico, China and other countries with lax labor protectiins and low minimum wage. Nike and Apple have both knowing used sweatshops and even forced labor to make their products in the past.

If we are going to stop outsourcing we need to take away the incentives that lead to it.

1: Ban sweatshop produced goods.
The first step is to ban the import and sale of goods produced in sweatshops ,with the requirement that the importing company shows verifiable proof that the products were not produced in sweatshops. We already do this with minerals, gems and precious metal (ie "blood diamonds). Jewelers are required to have proof that t gems they sell are mined in legimate mining operations.

2: Tax outsourcers at 50% or more
Republicans like to reward outsourcing with massive tax cuts. They claim that taxes are the only reason for outsourcing and cutting taxes will cause the companies to bring thee jobs back to the US(it never works.) I have a different idea. We make any American based company which produces more than a certain percentage of the goods they sell in the US outside of the US, pay a minimum tax of 50%.

3: Enforce labor laws internationally
This is simple. We require US based companies to pay federal minimum wage and offer the same benefits to workers in forein workplaces as they do in the US. If apple or GM owwn a factory in China, they have to treat those workers the same as they do in the US, and they have to show verifiable proof that they do so before products from those factories can be sold in the US

I won't purchase any Nike or Apple products. As soon as the slave labor was exposed I banned them from my shopping list.
Sadly most conservatives lack the self discipline to do the same. MANY on here have iPads, iPhones and Nikeys in their closets.
Fake outrage from ALL OF THEM

what phone do you use that was not made with "slave labor"?

What computer do you use that did not mostly come from China?

 

[BluesLegend]

Easy, cut federal, state and local government by 45%.

I go to biden because we know for a fact what he did,, as for trump we can only guess since he wasnt there for the last 8 months of the issue,,

 

[progressive hunter]

I accept your surrender.

that means you surrendered days ago,,

 

[Harpy Eagle]

No, we know what Trump did as well. We know what he did prior to Jan 20th, 2021. That is the only part I am talking about

the reason thats the only part youre talking about is if you talked about the rest you would look like a bigger idiot,,

 

[Harpy Eagle]

the reason thats the only part youre talking about is if you talked about the rest you would look like a bigger idiot,,

I am talking about that part because we agree on the rest and it is sort of a waste of time to keep talking about where we are in agreement.

but hey, I get it. I am not allowed to say anything bad about your god or you will call me names. Its cool. This discussion has rans it course and football is about to start, need to add more wood to the ribs.

have a great afternoon.

 

[progressive hunter]

I accept your surrender.

I guess you could provide proof trump was going to run out in the middle of the night and not tell the afgans or give them some support to hold off the taliban while they got a foothold, or that he intended to leave enough weapons for a middle size country to the taliban,, OH and biden also surrender a military airbase for them,,

wheres your proof on this??

as usual,, when the rubber hits the road and you actually have to produce something other than feelings you run away,,

I did write a thesis paper in 1980 while attending a physics class on the future use of hydrogen for automobile propulsion.

I meant because morons like you buy them.

 

[bripat9643]

How did Trump protect us when he surrendered to terrorist and withdrew 99% of the troops from Afghanistan?

When did he do that?

 

[bripat9643]

Nope, you are still the braindead poster you've always been. Why are you ex-convicts all the same?

How is that "obvious?"

Outsourcing is good for our economy as long as it's driven by companies making their own decisions.

What we have to stop is companies that leave because the Democrats drove them out with your stupid obsession with screwing American companies

Mr. Trump would and could never protect America because he is too busy protecting Trump and his fragile super ego. Trump is a loser and will stay that way until death.

This is just your hack partisan leftist bull shit

 

[Moonglow]

This is just your hack partisan leftist bull shit

Hardly, since Trump is not a president anymore.

 

[kaz]

Wealthy people don't give a shit about protecting America they care about increasing their wealth at any cost.

Here's an interesting fact for you. The rich aren't all the same, you're just a hate filled leftist demagogue
