Lawmakers: Penalize Outsourcing

Lawmakers: Penalize Outsourcing

The Issue

In US,  corporations have created for themselves $1 trillion dollars in earnings as 6 million manufacturing jobs were cut in the past ten years.

Many corporations pay little or no tax, and thus do not make a contribution to the US economy. The level of unemployed people in the US, largely due to cheaper labor abroad, means that the tax base is further reduced. A tax penalty for outsourcing jobs needs to be imposed on US-based corporations in order to secure revenue for vital goods and services, to protect working people from shouldering the burden, and to maintain stability.

Thank you for your efforts in protecting our future.
