@1911arthur U.S. companies that operate overseas are keeping profits there and investing rather than repatriating the profits — because of punitive taxation. According to Frank Aquila at Bloomberg News, there may be as much as $1 trillion of U.S. profits overseas that are simply not being repatriated. Through an anti-competitive tax environment, high labor costs, and inflated property values, the U.S. is driving investment and jobs into the arms of foreigners.
Absolute and unadulterated SCUM..........one simple thought about Medicare and Medicaid......UNSUSTAINABLE!!! Schakowsky's use of these FAILURES as emblems of justification to proceed with Obamacare simply shows how ignorant Democrats are to macroeconomic reality!
@1911arthur Oh yeah, it's patriotic to protect union jobs and drive prices up by forcing companies to stay in the US on top of the price hikes brought on by a thousand layers of regulating government. Shipping low-end jobs overseas creates a middle class in those countries. That middle class then turns around and buys goods from us. US Corps' savings in offshoring those jobs creates capital to expand their business and create new jobs. Take an economics course, moron.
@1911arthur Better than standing in Øbama's bread lines. They don't exist now, but they're coming because that's the first thing Progressives do to deal with the misery their policies create. When that doesn't work, they start murdering by the millions.
@miazagora That is by design, my friend. The quality will go down and the cost up until some new progressive comes along with the one true thing that will save us: Single payer.
You can't force anybody to buy anything, under any circumstance. You can't do it. Obamacare is a violation of any reasonable person's definition of personal liberty.
"If we can do Medicare...if we can do Medicaid" Oh, yeah - those programs are working SOOOOO well, aren't they? Let's drop Medicare and Medicaid. Let's drop the stupid regulation that doesn't allow insurance purchase accross state lines. Obamacare is driving insurance UP and lowering standards of care in the name of saving money - it does NOT ONE THING to address tort reform and other real issues that drive up the actual cost of care.
@VerbotenDingleberry dang straight she is! along with the rest of them.

That hand-on-the-arm-or-shoulder touching thing, something Obama is prone to, is a classic move of a manipulator.
