If it was that drastic, then all American companies would be trying to leave. The issue here, I think, is that the companies who have been moving have found it cheaper to train and hire others than it is to train and hire their own countrymen. They have made their "god" their profits and are selling out their country in the process. Shame on them!


America has the second highest corporate tax rate of all nations. THAT is a HUGE penalty for doing business as an American company.


"Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country." I guess it is easier to jump ship than it is to use their lobbyists and clout to bring the change they want.


the democrats support for trail lawyers boarders on the psychotic. If you want businesses to stay here, pass tort reform that will prevent them from having to spend hundreds of billions of dollars a year to defend silly lawsuits.


IMHO, the lawsuits are just a very small part of the larger issue, which is money (profits). Call center companies are USUALLY not the subjects of class action and/or frivolous lawsuits. Maybe you should tap the Judicial Branch on their shoulders and explain to them that this is all THEIR fault for allowing the stupid lawsuits to go trial in the first place. Tort reform is needed, but protection for the consumer and fair wages for the workers must be paramount.


there are reasons businesses are leaving here. It is because of the hostile environment our politicians have created for them.

No. It's because they are greedy for more money.


If Obama wants to penalize some group, he ought to start with congress!

How do you propose that the Executive Branch penalize the Legislative Branch?

1399, I appreciate you. but I need to ask you one question. do you remember Civics class in high school? there was a very important lesson in that class. The question is "who controls the purse strings of the US government?


Not one branch controls the purse strings. Without the Executive and the Legislative Branches compromising, there isn't a budget. The Legislative Branch can override Executive vetos, but there haven't been enough of one party to do that, as of late.

Ok, so....
