That argument is tried and failed now that we have seen where many of these companies loyalties lie.
What incentive to keep a company here? How about knowing that you are serving the country and being about advancement for the entire company instead of just the shareholders.
And companies pay hardly anything in taxes compared to what they could be paying. The list of tax breaks for the dumbest things is a mile long.
But they want both. They want the "Freedom" to use near slave labor conditions overseas and use that to lower the worth of the American worker AND they want the tax breaks...
Let me ask you this.. How did they show their gratitude for the bush tax cuts? Holding fast when times got tough to keep America working and strong? Nope the first excuse they got they started moving more jobs out.
