Globalization and its impact on corporate profits was an issue long before the economic meltdown and will likely remain an area of debate long after we get through this. Stating that empowering employees and maintaining corporate taxes will worsen the economy is a little like saying that giving the crew of the Titanic life jackets will sink the ship.

It's not going to save American jobs. It will end them, though. US labor is already exorbitantly pricey on the world market. We, as a nation, need to look at how to bring down the cost of our labor, rather then making it even more aggravating to work with. More people working is better then a few people with amazing benefits. Straight up, talking to CEOs, corporate America is spooked. Obama isn't doing enough to allay their fears. I know everyone is laughing about the republicans crying socialism, but corporations are dealing with world competition, because of the globalized market, and faced with the prospect of having their profits curtailed even further, when they can just as easily move to less restricted markets, they are right now planning to continue their move away. What's different this time is that it will be corporate offices. They'll move anything they can off of American soil, because they believe they're about to get slammed by liberal revenge. If you want to stimulate the economy, there needs to be a law passed right now that promises lower corporate taxes for companies that maintain their businesses in the states. I know many people consider that an anathema, but they are our source of power in the world, and they are leaving. Why are liberals pushing this Employee Free Choice Act so hard?
