| 14. I feel the accounting tax laws should be changed |
|
for corporations. The law should require them to show outsourcing as an "import" of goods, with a tarriff tax per head for avoided FICA and tax contributions.
Some firms actually run domestic operations the world over like IBM and HP. These ones do not outsource per se, as much as use more resources from their cheaper supply countries. This form of "outsourcing" is harder to regulate, but methinks in fixing the tax laws for the former, the latter will be neglible.
