Corporations are dickweeds? Please explain. Management has a responsibility to the shareholders. To make a profit. That is the purpose of a company. If they can make a profit AND compete - i.e. sell the products or services successfully, by producing their goods or services in this country for this country...they will. The aggravation and costs of purchasing out of country can be staggering (I know this; I used to do it.) But if the cost of doing it in country is greater, then it goes off shore. Contrary to some conspiracy theorists, no company (not even Microsoft) can "control the world". Yes, there are some high level managers who don't give a shit about anything except making money for themselves. But over 80% of all companies in the USA are small companies. Just trying to stay open, pay their overheads and make enough to survive. If you want to equalize the impact of size and influence, support the Fair Tax. This will eliminate most of the favorable company legislation that is a normal practice of larger companies (and has been for centuries.) If a company can compete legally and profitable, I don't care how big they get. Companies don't have the power of the law to forcibly extract possessions from citizens like government does. No one forces anyone to purchase from any particular company. It's a choice. We vote with our dollars. If you don't like imports, buy locally. If the products aren't available from a local manufacturer, support the Fair Tax. That will bring more jobs, products and economic success to this country faster than anything else imaginable. Here's a concept - everyone who thinks having a company is simple and easy - try it! Start a company. Make a payroll. Comply with the morass called "taxes and compliance". Then come back and tell me how easy it is to stay in business.
