Corporations are not people, so I can see no problem if the government ordered corporations to focus their business in America.
Neither' I said neither, pay attention. The Left only uses the poor as an excuse they do not actually help them.I find this to be untrue. The left focuses on the poor as well.
You mean to tell me republicans are interested in the well-being of the poor class? What a laugh.
So, again, how is this in compliance with the Constitution?

Can you show me where in the Constitution it says we must provide tax breaks for outsourcing American jobs???
In order to laugh, you would have to discount other opinions and models as to how the poor are best helped. "Tax the rich, feed the poor, til there are no poor no more" may be catchy, poetic and easily digested but possibly impractical in the long run. A knowledge and sense of history and economic theory and application might help you better decide what is laughable.I find this to be untrue. The left focuses on the poor as well.

I am sure a way can be found. I am in favor of the constitution being changed to amend this unfortunate problem.
Just to clarify, you support to government control of production? Is this not the textbook definition of socialism? And also ratify this with a constitutional amendment? Pretty radical IMHO.
Well I get to say it since it is my opinion. Which is just as fair as you disagreeing with my opinion. Which is fine, but it really does not matter to me if you disagree with the words that I used, since I was the one writing them not you.I disagree with your use of "neither", because I believe the left does care, so you pay attention.
And I suppose spending programs that help the poor buy food isn't a form of helping?
Who are you to say the left "only uses the poor as an excuse"?
Our society already embraces mulitple aspects of socialism.
What, do you support how businesses send jobs overseas, or how they suppress the poor?
preventing & limiting cuts to Medicaid helps the poor a great deal.
fighting to preserve S-CHIP and Headstart, helps the poor.
your comments seem to be meaningless.
Of course it doesn't say that but I am not the one taking the position that the Government has powers they don't have.
Please, try again.

And how does this comply with the US Constitution or are you being facetious?
One way to grapple them back into America is to discontinue the GOP backed tax breaks for outsourcing US jobs. How would ending these tax breaks be out of compliance with the Constitution?
Okay, I found some a list of Occupy's Chicago's demands. My understanding is that this list was voted on by the people present. I chose Occupy Chicago because I live in Chicago.
1.PASS HR 1489 REINSTATING GLASS-STEAGALL. – A depression era safeguard that separated the commercial lending and investment banking portions of banks. Its repeal in 1999 is considered the major cause of the global financial meltdown of 2008-2009.
2. REPEAL BUSH TAX CUTS FOR THE WEALTHY
3. FULLY INVESTIGATE AND PROSECUTE THE WALL STREET CRIMINALS who clearly broke the law and helped cause the 2008 financial crisis.
4.OVERTURN CITIZENS UNITED v. US. – A 2010 Supreme Court Decision which ruled that money is speech. Corporations, as legal persons, are now allowed to contribute unlimited amounts of money to campaigns in the exercise of free “speech.”
5. PASS THE BUFFET RULE ON FAIR TAXATION, CLOSE CORPORATE TAX LOOPHOLES, PROHIBIT HIDING FUNDS OFFSHORE.
6. GIVE THE SEC STRICTER REGULATORY POWER, STRENGTHEN THE CONSUMER PROTECTION BUREAU, AND PROVIDE ASSISTANCE FOR OWNERS OF FORECLOSED MORTGAGES WHO WERE VICTIMS OF PREDATORY LENDING.
7.TAKE STEPS TO LIMIT THE INFLUENCE OF LOBBYISTS AND ELIMINATE THE PRACTICE OF LOBBYISTS WRITING LEGISLATION.
8. ELIMINATE RIGHT OF FORMER GOVERNMENT REGULATORS TO WORK FOR CORPORATIONS OR INDUSTRIES THEY ONCE REGULATED.
9. ELIMINATE CORPORATE PERSONHOOD.
10. INSIST THE FEC STAND UP FOR THE PUBLIC INTEREST IN REGULATING PRIVATE USE OF PUBLIC AIRWAVES to help ensure that political candidates ARE GIVEN EQUAL TIME for free at reasonable intervals during campaign season.
11. REFORM CAMPAIGN FINANCE WITH THE PASSAGE OF THE FAIR ELECTIONS NOW ACT (S.750, H.R. 1404).
12. FORGIVE STUDENT DEBT – The same institutions that gave almost $2T in bailouts and then extended $16T of loans at little to no interest for banks can surely afford to forgive the $946B of student debt currently held. Not only does this favor the 99% over the 1%, it has the practical effect of more citizens spending money on actual goods, not paying down interest.
Well, if you look at the demands above, then student debt is there in point 12. There has also been a lot of occupier demanding student debt to be forgiven.Show me where this has been officially endorsed as a position of the Occupy movement?It is pretty selfish and greedy to want student loans to be forgiven.
I thought they were protesting against greed?
I actually find myself agreeing with all of these points besides 12 and I am IN college and have like no money. I knew the risks when I took the loan.
The only thing tarp did right was save the auto industry.
Well neither does the Left give a damn about the poor. The Left's rhetoric focuses on the middle class.
as far as I am concerned, giving tax-breaks for companies to move jobs overseas, is treason.
Really, so I didn't write this
Thats great but I am not a Teabagger, so it really means nothing to me, since I was talking about millions of Americans not some faction within them.
But why dont you answer my question? DO I now own my neighbors would shed since I built it for her? She paid for all of the materials I only did the work. I didnt even charge her for my time. Yet those workers you talked about that built the factory were paid for their time. And those workers most likely would not be the same workers working inside the factory. So your rational is really weird. Should the workers that built the factory own the factory or should the workers in the factory own the factory? And what about the people that made the building materials? Are all of these people entitled to ownership yet the person who spent their money to purchase the materials and labor has no entitlement to their own investment? Why would any rational human being invest in society if society just takes it all away?
And where does such practice end? Most of the things that I own were made by other people. DO they own these things instead of me? IMO philosophically Karl Marx was an hypocritical idiot. He only theorized intellectual drivel that cannot be applied to the real world.
I am sorry, but you make no sense what so ever.My mistake. You answered, and you answered wrong
Only the deluded would believe that the construction workers who built factories were not working construction
