Do you think it would happen? Sounds great, but do you honestly think either party would push this through? Sure the Republicans would like to help American businesses, and the dems would be using it to help the unions, but Joe Blow on the street is going to yell and scream when the price of his tv or radio or whatever shoots up.
But that's the real trick, isn't it? To be a consumer means you have to have disposable income. For most of us, that means we have to have a job. If Joe Blow loses his job to some offshoring scheme his company's CEO thought up to pad the profit margins by a fraction of a percent, it won't matter to Joe how cheap that foreign-made trinket is, he won't be able to buy it (eventually).
Other threads on these topics have made the important point that this latest pattern of job loss is hitting the middle class hard, not just the working class laborer like in the past, where the standard response was, "Tough luck. You should have gotten an education and you wouldn't be in this mess." Well, many folks have gotten educations and guess what, they're still in the mess. If foreign outsourcing eventually drives the middle class out of existence, those foreign firms better hope that their own employees at 69 cents and hour or less can start buying their products and services, because no one over here will if we don't have decent-paying jobs.
