Tax policy should not be politicized.

Republicans should be supporting the reduction of corporate tax rates to an internationally competitive 15% and the end of all credits and special exemptions.

Sounds good on paper. They have to do what their lobbyists want, not what the American people want.

Not a dime’s worth of difference between the parties.

In a setback to US President Barack Obama’s push to curb outsourcing of jobs to low-wage countries like India and China,...

Republican lawmakers have blocked a Bill in the Senate that sought to end tax breaks for companies shipping jobs overseas but cut taxes for those bringing the jobs back home.

Can someone explain to me how anyone could back tax breaks for corporations moving jobs overseas?

I'm for tax breaks for just about any entity, but providing a specific tax break that will reduce your future income tax receipts is just sheer lunacy.  We need jobs here.

We started major job outsourcing around 1992.  How has that worked out for us?  We're headed toward third world status, and China is growing by leaps and bounds.

Folks, this grand experiment has not only failed, it has just about ruined us.

Republicans, this is one instance where I have to say, "Pull your fricken head out of your ass, and start doing things that will bring jobs back here."

Not only are our policies failing us, they are empowering China.  What the hell is in that D. C. water?
