Ahhh, another person is catching on to the way corporate america, with the help of our congress critters, screw tax payers everyday. They not only get a write off for this, but they also get a tax break to offshore jobs. Walmart gets a tax break to build super centers and road improvements but refuse to pay a livable wage to their employees, they refuse to pay overtime, will fire any employee that says the word union too loud, and the list goes on and on. I read yesterday that CEOs in this country received, on average, 15% increase in their wages and other compensation last year while employee wages stayed the same. I don't know about you but I question a corporation's integrity when it has the ability to raise wages and compensation past the point of rediculous for the top few of the income ladder while refusing to hire additional workers and instead force the existing workforce to fill any gaps in manpower without added compensation all the while making the existing employees worry they are going to be next to lose their jobs.
It will get to the point where the business sector will have to think global trade because at the rate and direction things are going, people in this country won't be able to purchase anything with the wages they earn for the jobs that remain here in the US. Burger flipper at McDonalds is going to be the prestige job of the future. Can you say 'want fries with that'?
