Republicans block bill to keep jobs from going overseas.

This, among other things, is why I am never, ever, ever going to either vote for or donate my time and money to any Democrat again.  What this idiotic piece of legislation would do is eliminate write-offs for taxes paid in foreign countries - for example, if Ford has a subsidiary in the UK, and that UK subsidiary pays business taxes in the UK, then Ford can write off the amount they were taxed in the UK when they are taxed again on the same income in the US.  This is what every country in the world does.  Furthermore, if a US company is earning net income from a foreign subsidiary, that means that they are net exporting to the foreign country in which that subsidiary exists, as opposed to net importing.  This bill would therefore tax exports and not imports.  I can't believe that such a ridiculous idea, which goes beyond the merely misguided to being literally insane, is actually being "seriously" proposed, but given the brain trust we have in the congressional Democrats, I guess I have to believe it.

Those 45 Senators who voted to filibuster this should have their jobs offshored.

Anyone who thinks this bill is a good idea should be deported.

Given your choice in candidates and what you said on that party thread it's an easy mistake.

I've only endorsed for Senate Libertarians, Constitutionalists, libertarian-oriented Republicans, and Republicans in races with only a Republican and a Democrat (and left-wing third parties).



My gubernatorial endorsements are all Republican except for Colorado because only economic policy matters at the state level.
