S.3816 bill Creating American Jobs and Ending Offshoring Act

[pappu]

Title: Creating American Jobs and Ending Offshoring Act
Sponsor: Sen Durbin, Richard [IL] (introduced 9/21/2010)

Cosponsors Sen Dorgan, Byron L. [ND] -
Sen Reid, Harry [NV] -
Sen Schumer, Charles E. [NY] -
Introduced in the Senate.

This bill will give companies a two-year holiday from their share of Social Security payroll withholding taxes for each employee they hire to replace a worker at a foreign-based facility. The Creating American Jobs and Ending Offshoring Act would bar companies from taking tax credits or deductions for the cost of closing a U.S.-based facility to move the operation overseas.Companies could still take deductions for severance and job placement services for employees who lose their jobs as a result of a U.S. plant closing. Under the legislation, companies that close a U.S.-based business and expand it overseas would no longer be allowed to defer U.S. income taxes on foreign subsidiaries.

Reid has the option to set up a procedural vote next week

For some reason, I feel that this is just the beginning. Hope I am wrong..

Well instead of going back after H1 expires, the people can chose to be illegals. Then their Kids will get GC under the DREAM ACT.:D

Companies like Microsoft are indeed greedy. But Microsoft shareholders like me and many others in this forum are saints.

Pappu
Is there an IV action item defined for defeating this bill? Why has this been posted? Just curios....

Corporations save more than 10K.. It doesn't work..

Average cost of employment in US for high tech is around 90$ per hour and social security
percentage is 6%, So the max is less than 10K per year or less than 0.5 USD per hour.

These companies actually pay far less than 90$ for offshore resources..

Since it really doesn't work, it has high chances of passage into bill :rolleyes: and president will promptly sign it before this session recesses.. :cool:

It will also be passed in an unanimous consent by both parties..

though hilariously said, you have a point indeed.

It’s not India or China who asked for globalization. It was America who wants to sell their products throughout the world.

No matter how many bills these Senators may make they are not going to stop outsourcing.

America didn’t develop because of protectionist policies, it grow because it was a free market.

Just wait a couple of yeard for the things to improve a bit, "American Workers" will go right back to getting high on borrowed money, spending money that they don't have...this will all go away. Then, the focus will be..i don't know.....buying "stuff".

Plus, other countries are not sleeping any more. America started the outsourcing model and now, the hitherto underdeveloped economies have expanded their own industrial base and middle class. WHile US protectionism might hurt them in the short run, but they are much better prepared than they were, only a few years ago.

Druecken die daumen!!

In today's world it is simply not possible to stop outsourcing. It is also not possible to stop all illegal immigration or send all legal/illegal immigrats out. Anti-immigrants are very few in number and they try to project as if the entire America wants what they want. They will still go and buy a Toyota and buy stuff Made in China from the store :) Ask them if they want double for their grocery every week if we deport all undocumented and their answer will definitely be a NO.

You are an anti-immigrant.

You hate Microsoft because you cannot a job there. Why don't you spend time upgrading your skills and get rid of your hatred for H1B workers.

If you think it is too much for you and you would rather blame Immigrants for your incompetence, then you may want to try apply as a Janitor in Microsoft or Google. Maybe they will hire you. You can then tell all your friends that you work for Microsoft. :D
