The GOP is dumber then a dung heap. Instead of defending corporations and losing points, I would offer the Dems the following. Since jobs is an issue, I would support the law if the Dems would support laws that would kick out every illegal immigrant taking jobs away from unemployed Americans. It means the DoJ must drop their lawsuit against AZ, punish sanctuary cities and stop legal immigration at a time when our economy is stagnate and unemployment is high. Furthermore I would add never to consider Cap and Trade, repeal Obamacare taxes and other Obama orders that add costs to businesses and prevent hiring and keeping American workers employed. Now the GOP would have smashed the Dem showboat because they would balk at such deal. Instead the GOP continue to serve their job killing, and more profits for their free trader/globalist masters and donors. 2010 is the GOP chance to defend the Main Street Americans if they continue to cater to Wall Street America, a Third Party in 2012.

Exactly, I’d also like to see a Nuclear Power grid made possible.

Corporations do not have a “duty” to keep jobs in a place that no longer makes economic sense for them. Period.

That has nothing to do with contributing to campaigns.

Again, if the U.S. wants to attract jobs to the U.S., it has to do so through favorable tax and regulatory policies. This holds true for jobs created by American as well as non-American corporations.

IMHO any corporation that exports an American job, must pay for the unemployment benefits of the fired American for as long as he is unemployed. Furthermore the corporation must pay for all the taxes to support the unemployed American for as long as he is unemployed.

Make it more expensive, difficult or impossible to fire an American worker, like it is in Europe. Great idea. This way American companies just won't hire new workers. Just like in Europe.

How high will the unemployment rate have to rise before you're satisfied your "great idea" worked?
