I know and agree with most of what you said ... but to have 51% of those working not pay taxes, something is wrong with the tax system. It is the design of the dems to keep raising that level with the thinking they would not vote to change it and be taxed. That is why we need a more fair system.

As for business moving to other countries ... I am in the private sector and have been my whole life, mostly working for large corporations ... I have to tell you Hound ... taxes are the driving force. Yes their are labor savings, but there is also lost productivity and quality issues that offset that.   But long term tax deals that offset much of the cost of building a plant and moving production is the driver.

The same happens here in the US when their is rapid writeoffs allowed for Cap-x ... the Bush writes offs for small businesses on the first $250K of spending each year is coming to an end this year ... there has been some activity to buy that new equipment etc, since they will lose it next year. But what happens next year?   We need a system that encourages businesses to continue to invest here in the US to create the jobs, rather that let other countries do that and the jobs move elsewhere.

Obama is also restricting oil drilling that are all US jobs, and instead sending our tax dollars to Brazil for their drilling and telling them we will buy the oil.   What a fool.
