The great debate

QUOTE (SgtMajor @ Oct 5 2012, 03:34 PM) Stronger tariffs against certain nations? Are you kidding me? Our current economy of outsourcing has an economy based OUTSIDE of the United States, do you have any idea what strong foreign taxes in an unfair nationalist economy will do?

Destroy our own economy in the process, MUTUAL ASSURED DESTRUCTION is not the answer

What? This does nothing to the big multi-national firms, except if they want to import good A from Country Y they will have a steep enough tariff that it would just make more sense to make the product in America and sell it locally.

Sorry, I never really bought into the whole Globalization, New World Order thing.

See now you are putting words in my mouth, I never said New World Order, what I am saying is that an economy is based on interaction of country A with country B, thus causing a monetary value of the currency, when you isolate the foreign based economy that we have, you are not only affecting country A and B, but country C D E and F. If a corporation is told that it would be imposed a tax for being based out of the United States you will have outsourcing with the headquarters in the United States, it wouldn't affect the corporation but the individual.
