The first debate

[EEich]

There are ways that the government can penalize, tax or give incentives to make it worth their while to keep jobs here. There is no legal obligation... just a moral one. America should stand for Americans... not American corporatons.

By the way... not all of us are inclined or qualified to start our own businesses. I don't know the stats, but you know that most businesses fail within the first year.

If it forces companies to stay here, then other companies who can manufacture a product elsewhere for less will survive and companies that are handcuffed here will go out of business.
