Hard to Support Firms That Go Overseas
- Share via
How can American companies expect Americans to buy their products and services when they are sending to India, Scotland and other English-speaking lands jobs that could be filled by Americans here?
These foreign tech support people don’t pay U.S. taxes, yet these corporations will write non-taxed individuals off as a business expense, which is double-dinging the economy by not having salaries providing money for taxes and also getting the benefit of a tax write-off for their outlay.
Instead of giving big business write-offs for foreign investments, they should only get those write-offs for their investments in the United States.
