Don't understand why anyone would be against expanding into new markets.

But this isn't a penalty tax or something. It's removing government subsidies. The whole point of subsidies, if there is a point, is to develop domestic economic strength. It is completely reasonable to only subsidize companies that operate within the country (provided you think it is reasonable to have subsidies at all).

Wow, the one thing that has helped Manufacturing recover and stablize, exports, is something which is good to discourage. WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Huh? This bill wouldn't do anything to companies that export. It only impacts companies with employment operations overseas (and only affects them as far as their overseas employment operations are concerned, wouldn't affect operations in the US producing goods for export at all).
