No, outsourcing will occur regardless of the handouts the govt. gives big business.
Business are more than happy to pay no taxes, pay out third world salaries and charge first world prices for their goods.
Until you stop and enforce regulations on businesses that are needed and collect what they're supposed to pay we'll continue to have problems.
If the business don't like it, cut them off from the richest economy in the world. Believe me if they have to do it to play ball, they will.

Any kind of welfare is a bad idea for anyone or anything like US businesses. US businesses in the long run actually do better when they outsource and that not only helps workers in other countries it helps workers right here in the USA. Outsourcing helps companies grow & when they grow they can hire more people and that means many more jobs for American workers & workers around the world & the add bonus is that when US companies hire workers around the world those foreign workers really start to like the US (which in this day & age of terrorism) is probably a very good thing for the US.

NO. Union busting is necessary to curb outsourcing.
Tax incentives for companies that DO NOT OUTSOURCE are necessary to curb outsourcing.
Tax incentives for companies that create new jobs are necessary to curb outsourcing.
Raising tarriffs is necessary to curb outsourcing.
Moving away from the North American Union concept is necessary to curb outsourcing.
Repealing NAFTA, or at a minimum not expanding NAFTA to Central America is necessary to curb outsourcing.
Thats all I can think of right off the bat.
Corporate welfare...no. Not a factor.

No. We have enough (actually too much) corporate welfare. We don't need any more.
Nothing will curb outsourcing short of unreasonable restrictions on companies. Outsourcing isn't a bad thing in a global economic context.
The US has a shortage in many career fields and we need to get talent from elsewhere to meet our needs. Outsourcing to countries like India and Philipines ultimately raises their standard of living and creates new middle class people with money to spend. Those people will buy our products if we provide them. The best way to raise people out of poverty is NOT to simply throw money at them, but to give them jobs and other opportunities to make money. That in turn spurs more work within their own countries.
Did you know that oursourcing also creates jobs in the US? Off-shore companies need people on-shore in the US to work as well.
Also, low wages in those countries helps us by allowing us to buy cheaper products.

Does anyone remember after 9/11, when the airlines said they needed a handout from the taxpayers money so they wouldn't have to fire their workers? What happened after they got their corporate welfare? They laid off a bunch of workers anyway! These people need to be held accountable. If corporate welfare isn't helping the workers, then it's an inexcusable waste of taxpayer's money.

Corporate outsourcing, of course, is a good thing so corporate welfare is not needed. Outsourcing makes the U.S. economy more competitive and keeps prices and inflation low. If we could just get the illegal immigation problem under control we'd be in good shape.

What I wish people would realize is that a larger portion of their tax dollars go to corporate welfare rather than welfare to people. It has been in existence for years and has done nothing to prevent outsourcing.
We need to worry about the HUGE discrepancy between CEO salaries and the rest of their employees.

No, the only way to stop outsourcing is to penalize the companies that outsource, and reward those companies that keep jobs in this country. Outsourcing is bad for this country and its people, but corporations and the globalist elite love it.!!!

Nope. Because the real welfare Queens will just want the welfare and continue to outsource overseas.

We are already providing corporate welfare by allowing corp tax breaks when they relocate outside this country.
We should create a tax for goods and services that come from outside the US to bring the price up to that of a domestic product.
