The “tax breaks” that Obama keeps talking about for “shipping jobs overseas”, basically means that employers don’t pay payroll taxes for employees in other countries. That’s because they aren’t US citizens. He’s basically saying that businesses have determined that there are too many taxes in hiring American workers, so his solution is to charge extra taxes on workers employed in other nations.
It’s totally ridiculous. Any reasonably minded person would think that it would be in the best interest to reduce taxes on American workers to make it “cheaper” to hire them.
Unfortunately, the Confiscator-in-Chief wants to tax as much as he can get away with.
