hershey's chocolate?

Question

hershey's chocolate is moving there plant from HERSHEY .PA
to a site in mexico to raise production and lower costs, while they have no plans on making there product cheaper to the consumers, my question is :

do you think it would be a good idea to put an import tax on foreign outsourced goods to encourage buisnesses to remain in the US,every year over 1million people lose there jobs to foreign outsource

and on a side note, the import tax imposed on the buisnesses could be put to relief the tax on oil and natural gas

Answer 1

Why don't we try getting rid of the excess taxes and regulations that prompted them to move in the first place. The actual cost of LABOR and INGREDIENTS is no better in Mexico. The cost of GOVERNMENT is the problem.

Answer 2

The United States of America already has thousands of taxes for thousands of products imported from other countries.

$5.15 USD per hour is the highest salary in the World.

If you don't change the minimum wage laws to $2.15 USD per hour soon then the United States of America will lose 60,000,000 workers in the next decade.

By the way, the Natural Oil and Gas is already IMPORTED FROM OTHER COUNTRIES and the United States of America is already charging taxes for both Oil and Natural Gas.

If you want cheaper Oil then sell federal land in Arizona, New Mexico, California and Texas back to Mexico and let them extract that oil.

Answer 3

hell no,,
