What should they do?
Unlike the Fed, they cannot bleed cash for all eternity.

Strong companies are also sending their work overseas in droves. And the hemoraging you are witnessing is hemoraging of money LEAVING the US Economy. Money that if spent on US employees will be pumped back into our economy 100%. Unfortunately you and I won't live long enough to see China and India overcome their cultural barriers to buy local goods and buy US Goods. But at least you will be happy that your favorite CEO makes a few hundred million by keeping his stock options above water FOR NOW.. You know the game musical chairs... Very few chairs remain.

The solution is there is none becuase those that can make the laws are bought by those profiting from the scheme. Check-Mate.

Things are good for me now and good for you probably but you would have to be a complete moron to not see that given what is happening we WILL be affected and certainly our children will be.

You are being fuked by Business, Republicans and Demotards but like most need only one group to blame so it is all the Demotards fault.

Not at all, I see exactly what is happening and sadly know how it all ends. I am fed by business big and small (mostly small), without it my clients have no jobs or cash to build. I know who is sticking it to us (the collective us, pretty much everyone) I do not toe any party line but identify more with a moderate republican (extinct?) than a moderate democrat (definitely extinct). I think it was a great marketing plan that got Obama elected and we are now paying the price for it. I am not in the top 1% but I am in the top 15% and rely on those above me for my work.

What you wrote is a bunch of hypebole and bluster.

A minute number of corporations are sending jobs overseas.

Thanks... I let the millions who have lost thier jobs know that.. Hopefully none of them had any dreams of owning a racehorse and needing a trainer.

Do you think those jobs are all overseas now? No shot that many (and I mean many) of those jobs are simply gone due to smaller business going under due to excessive taxes and the utter collapse of the housing industry.

The only way to keep these corporations in America or to bring them back is to significantly lower corporate tax rates. But that is against everything liberals stand for.

US corporate tax rates the primary cause for companies moving overseas

The US corporate tax rate has become a new cause for companies to move overseas to avoid what is the largest tax burden in the industrialized world. At 35%, the US tax rate on companies and businesses is nearly triple the rates in some places, and well above the tax requirements of countries such as Ireland and Switzerland.

In an expose on March 27th by CBS's 60 Minutes, hundreds of companies, and over $1.1 trillion dollars, are now being kept overseas providing nothing to the US economy due to stringent tax laws and regulations which make it difficult to invest, create new jobs, and find profitability if incorporated in America.

Cisco alone has moved eight different companies to Ireland, where the tax rate is at 12.5%. On top of this, google, Facebook, and several other technical firms employ over 100,000 workers in Ireland, which they might otherwise employ in the US if the tax code was changed or adjusted.

While many companies moved to China, India, and other places around the world for cheaper labor, one of the main reasons for the move offshore was the draconian tax rates the US government imposes on businesses headquartered domestically. In an poll taken in January on the Fair Tax, over 500 companies said they would instantly move back to the United States if this tax structure were implemented in the economy.

Funny thing is that there are tons of people coming into the country that are able to find jobs...

Even more funny is a good deal are hired cash only and don't pay taxes.. And even funnier yet alot of the Employers are die hard boot conservatives that bitch and moan about the defecit yet hire non documented workers who tax the medical system and don't pay taxes that would reduce the defecit. None work in your barn of course... Just sayin.

Nobody. We are swimming towards our best, most profitable decade in the past 100 years, with record GDP growth and a burgeoning middle class expansion. Construction, electronics, automobiles - flourishing!

Or, our middle class has been effectively destroyed for years, the majority of the wealth of this country is now in the hands of a few, businesses are holding 1.2 trillion out of the economy, our jobs are all overseas, Wall Street no longer makes money by growing strong corporations but by gambling on their success or failure at the expensive of investor funds, corporate CEOS have zero incentive to make their businesses successful for their investors as they still get million-dollar bonuses even if their company goes bankrupt, the days of steady 8-10% investment growth over years of time in 401K's is long gone, and the GOP wants even more tax breaks for their corporate masters, the poor suffering businessmen. Who would make jobs, lots, of jobs, tons fo jobs, if we would just cut their taxes even more, so they would feel ... "confident".

Oh, yeah, and can we disassemble all regulation - workplace safety, employee, EPA, etc. - to make it more convenience for them to do whatever the hell they want with no accountability? Great! Thanks.

There is no "Excessive Taxes". What rates are you specifically referring to? I'm small businessman, and I know what my tax rates have been over the past 20 years, and they are down, with special breaks over the past 3 years.

Whining that the tax rate is 35% is ridiculous - nobody pays that. The biggest multinationals don't pay crap, and keep their profits overseas.

What "small businesses collapses" send jobs overseas? Restaurants, cleaners, plumbers, groceries don't send jobs overseas. Small businesess run on local cash infusion from local residents. Local residents get that from paychecks. The big manufacturing companies are gone multinational. Towns are closed down and empty. The GOP won't renew unemployment benefits. They should, immediately, that's cash direct into small business pockets in a local community.

We need aggressive stimulus with direct job creation.

Waiting and hoping for multinationals to get their wet dream of removal of all labor regulations so jobs in the USA would be as cheap as sweatshops in foreign countries is absurd. Not gonna happen. Those jobs are not coming back. No matter how hard the Republicans are trying to do exactly that.

No. Those corporations also want child labor laws repealed, unions gone, and all safety and environmental regulations removed so they can crap all over the USA like they do in other countries with their minimally-paid employees and lack of safety/compliance issues earning them record profits.

Poor, poor huge corporations! My heart bleeds for them ....

The Republican party is master at passing out talking points that convince their base to vote against their own self interests and in favor of wealthy business interests. It has always completely astounded me, the blind following faith of the GOP base.

Of course, that base, the Tea Party - John Bircher - Evangelical wing, has kind of gotten out of control with the loss of the "moderate" Republican to Independence or temporary Democratic affiliation due to the horrors of Bush the Lesser and saying Sarah Palin could be President with a straight face.

But the GOP is trying to reign them in before 2012, as they know they don't have a chance with the cult crazies from Evangelical Land running for office and speaking in public.

The industrialized, highly-populated urban areas of the country are blue, and the rural, agricultural low-population areas are red.

The country is very divided.

Demand is up, population is up, prices are up (the $ is worth crap). Record profits is a bunch of crap. 10% is no record, nobody is making more than that, the $ numbers are higher for all the reasons stated above. Records profits is something they are force feeding people to make businesses look bad. Aside from GE of course who live safely under the Obrella while the poop falls on those all around them. All the others pay.

Riot, do you smoke Meth?

It's not "tactics", it's reality.

First, look at the facts of who has contributed most to destroying this country in the past decade with lying about wars, killing thousands of our young men and women, destroying the financial structure of this country, and reckless, unfunded spending and charging on the credit card.

Secondly, the GOP Governors, through Americans for Progress, Koch Brothers, ALEC, Republican Governors Association, Crossroads, etc most certainly do literally hand out bullet goals for governors. That is why all the sudden union busting stuff, the trying to privatize, the removal of home rule and appointment of "managers" by Governors, etc.

The current round of female GOP politicians of the ilk of Michelle Bachmann and Sarah Palin are crazy, not-intelligent cult members. They deserve to be called exactly what they are. Not ready for prime time, and most certainly not qualified to lead this country.

I've been part of the GOP my whole life, from the inside, and it's gone over the edge into craziness. The Republican leadership doesn't even pretend to represent the interests of the average citizen any more. They are a clear danger to this country.

You're welcome to them. Trying to disparage or discredit me because I want nothing more to do with that - well, have at it.

Fair question.

Unions are people, Corporations contain no actual people.
