Job offshoring is the only issue to me

Romney from 3rd debate transcript on China:

"they (China) have to manufacture goods and put people to work and they have about 20,000 -- 20 million, rather, people coming out of the farms every year coming into the cities, needing jobs.

So they (China) want the economy to work and the world to be free and open. And so we can be a partner with China. We don't have to be an adversary in any way, shape or form. We can work with them, we can collaborate with them, if they're willing to be responsible."

 * * * * *

So, I take that as "we (big business) have this opportunitiy to exploit cheap labor in countries like China (and India)."  Do we actually need to be hit across the head with a 2 x 4 to get it?  Right now, Bain Capital is sending jobs from Freeport, Ind. to China.  Romney could put a stop to it if he wanted to. 

Right now, in a neighboring town, Georgia-Pacific shut down one of their businesses putting 150 people out of work.  This business is owned by the Koch Brothers, some of the largest supporters of Romney and biggest campaign donors.  The Republican Congressman will not address this issue or talk with the laid off employees.  I think he must be on the Koch Brother dole, as well. 

We workers have to get out and vote against this greed.  If we don't, it may be too late 4 years from now.

“China is both an adversary, but also a potential partner in the international community if it’s following the rules.”

Equal the playing field, in other words.

Interesting choice of words... - Des

"equal the playing field"

Getting rid of America's middle class turns us into a third-world country, one in which there are only the supremely rich and the impoverished poor. Once America is third-world, it'll no longer be more profitable to offshore.

Maybe that's the plan...

So, stop buying products made in China - backwards typist

BTW, the Chinese are starting to demand better working conditions and higher wages, or don't you keep up on the news?

How could Romney stop Bain from sending jobs to China? - backwards typist

[ In Reply To ..]
He has no say in Bain Capital in what they do. He's not a boss or President. It should be up to the PRESIDENT to say something but is he? I haven't heard anything except crickets from his camp.

I don't understand why people don't give up the lies. It upsets me that people can be so gullible and quick to judge one person and not the other.

And before you call me a racist or state I hate Obama for some reason or another, that's not true. I gave him 3 years even though I didn't agree with the bailouts or stimulus. I had a wait-and-see attitude. Well, I waited and I saw and what I saw, I didn't like at all. Time for him to move on.

Romney holds Partnership Distribution status in Sensata - Research Much?

[ In Reply To ..]
Mitt Romney was not just a "shareholder" in Sensata, Romney had "Partnership Distribution" status on his Federal Tax Returns in 2010 and 2011.

Are you an accountant? - backwards typist

[ In Reply To ..]
The meaning of Partnership Distribution means Romney shares stock in a company with his "partner"...in this case, he shares stock with The Tyler Foundation. It's listed on his tax returns on Form 8283 line 1(A).

It doesn't mean he is a partner in Sensata. He is only a partner with The Tyler Foundation.

If you have a "truer" definition and can show me the site link, I'll check it out.





...and yes, I "research much" that 's why I'm not on this board some days or onl - backwards typist

Second, "tax" refers to every and any monetary obligation that any and all taxing authorities levy on a business and sometimes certain particular operations that it conducts.  For instance, fees for building permits ...

Well, you would have thought I had tried to kill someone, everyone sprang into action stating there was nothing wrong with him at all. Fast forward a few years, DIL's father just recovering from q ...
