re: #839 Claire

You mean like all the businesses that have moved to India and Mexico? Inconceivable!! Oh, wait- you mean it’s already happened in droves?

You do realize you have proved my very point. The businesses have outsourced their labor to those countries. But guess where they probably still keep their corporate headquarters? Guess where their executives live? Guess where those executives pay income tax?

It sure as shit ain’t India. They’re still right here in the good ol’ U S of A. Because they will bitch and moan about their taxes a whole lot, and threaten to leave even more. But at the end of the day their market for their products is still here. And they still want to live here, because it’s the greatest nation in the world.
