So they were going to put something in that no democrat would vote for.
I ask again, what was wrong with what the bill was to begin with.
Look, I don't like democrats, but republicans flock is dumb for not seeing the gops hypocrisy on this one.
What was wrong with the bill is that the GOP loves shipping our jobs to communist China in droves, and will block anything that stops it. It's another perfect example of how the GOP hates america and the american people, could care less about job creation, and only cares about bankrolling their corporate masters.
The GOP sheep don't care though, they will keep lapping up the lies the right wing propaganda machine tells them, and will obediently vote (R) on election day no matter what.
I did find one amendment ...that a company needs to list their employees per country.
I think that's a good amendment. The multinationals stopped doing that in 2008 when some mass layoffs and offshoring occurred.

Mr. BROWN of Ohio (for himself, Mr. Harkin, Mr. Sanders, Mr. Whitehouse, Mr. Blumenthal, Mr. Rockefeller, and Mrs. McCaskill) submitted an amendment intended to be proposed by him to the bill S. 3364, to provide an incentive for businesses to bring jobs back to America; which was ordered to lie on the table; as follows:
At the end, add the following:
SEC. __. REQUIRED DISCLOSURE OF NUMBER OF DOMESTIC AND FOREIGN EMPLOYEES.

The jobs started leaving our shores in the 1960's. Nice to see you finally woke up.
But to blame the Republicans is like blaming Bush for the 2008 meltdown.

The bill was fine. GOP wanted to make campaign fodder. ****ing shame what our politics are doing. I can honestly say I've never felt better about not supporting either major party. GOP are the idiots today.
Once again Dirty Harry went out of his way to avoid any kind of bipartisianship. He is without a doubt the worst leader the senate has had.
Reid could not even get a federal budget to 0bama's desk to be signed, even when the dems controlled EVERYTHING!!!! That is how freaking useless that old fool is.

How about talking about this bill. I think we can agree that both parties are useless from day to day. But what about this bill today?

I read the bill. They wanted companies to hire more employees in the US than they had in their offshore facility. Why ?
They also could not take the credit against their US income. There was a special "mirror" system going to be set up with the Treasury and the Treasury would pay them separately from their taxes and annually at that.

Sounds too hokey.
And this is bad how? Sounds like you're grasping at straws. Damned shame. Republicans have good bills that demos don't support, I call them on it. This is bull**** from the republicans.
It would defy anyone's ability to understand what this bill actually means.
Someone dumbs it down to 'bring the jobs home act' and all the cretins jump on the bandwagon. Ever hear of 'smart cookies'?
The lawyers have you guys eating out of their hand.
Ooh! All MR care about is dividends.... guess who is invested in those companies.... all the unions and everyone who has a 401K or other retirement investments.
Offshoring started long ago and you would be daft to think MR or the repubs specialize in it o the exclusion of the Dems.
You would be adled to think MR will encourage offshoring jobs.
Just like Obama was going to change Washington politics and instead has become the epitome of slime ball politics.

Go bury your head in the sand if you like.
Go read the bill. I did. It's a very short and to the point bill. I posted the link.
Honestly though I doubt many companies would jump on this for 20% credit on moving expenses.
They're going to lay off employees making pennies a day and hire US workers with higher salaries, benefits and mandated healthcare ?
