The first policy should be to tax every business that has sent their jobs overseas.
That would move jobs back here if the tax equals the pay that would need to be paid to Americans.
I don't want to hear Americans won't do those jobs. One of the growing industries is American ex-house wives who have opened house cleaning business'

McCain calls for 'economic surge'

Losing all respect for your network — Wed, 06 Aug 2008 19:41:27 GMT

Tax increases for companies that move those jobs overseas, tax INCENTIVES for those staying here at home.
But riddle me this MSNBC, how is it that statements like these:
"We need to reduce the tax burden on businesses that choose to make their homes in the United States of America. We need to open new markets to U.S. products and we need to reduce the cost of health care and we need to end the out of control spending in Washington"

Don't illicit the same call for "details" or "specifics" that you do for Barack? MSNBC, I am thoroughly disappointed with your commentators, the pundits and so-called journalists you have been using lately in your broadcasts. Not only because they are obviously holding Barack to a different standard than mccain, and quite blatantly coloring mccain statements with praise while coloring Barack's statments with innuendo and doubt thereby pushing mccain's themes (see how I do that, small m for mccain, big B for Barack...subtle, like what you're doing). But because your coverage is stupid, your pundits are parrots and bring nothing new to the discussion. I didn't watch MSNBC News Live ever until the primaries. And ever since the primaries ended (even though you had your hillary bias going on too), I have noticed that your tendencies now are sensationalistic with no seeming desire for or even attempt at an enlightened discussion. Americans deserve more. My company just laid off half of our staff...many more unemployed here in southern california. Many more homes about to go up on the chopping block and still paying $4+/gal for gas. Please remember your duty as a "free press". You are part of what protects all of our freedoms. Imagine if our troops took that responsibility as lightly as you all do. Just imagine that. Take a look at some of our dearly departed Tim Russert's greatest interviews and get serious please, for the Nation's sake. Asking good questions make for good television people. Just ask those of us who still get sick to our stomachs on Sunday b/c we know the question WE want and need asked will not be asked by you blankety blanks.

Sincerely,
Losing all respect for your network.

Obama: CHANGE you can rely on DAILY — Wed, 06 Aug 2008 19:41:36 GMT

"Companies are moving overseas," McCain said. "We're taxing them out of the country. Unfortunately, Sen. Obama's plans would raise taxes on businesses even more. He's promised tax increases on income, tax increases on investment, tax increases on small businesses. That's exactly the wrong strategy. Raising taxes in a bad economy is about the worst thing you can do, because it will kill even more jobs. What we need are policies that create jobs."

Thank you, Mr McCain, for telling the truth. How we grow our economy when we penalize business?

McCain calls for 'economic surge'

Benny, SFBayArea, California — Wed, 06 Aug 2008 19:42:09 GMT

Raising taxes ARE NOT what drove many companies to move operations overseas. There were quite a few tax BREAKS put forth by the Bush administration that rewarded companies for going overseas. Others saw the cheap labor pool and their bottom lines and decided American jobs could be lost for the sake of heir profits. Once again, John Sydney McCain III demonstrates that he truly DOES NOT understand economics while continuing to attack Obama with one lie after another.
