I was agreeing. I am sure taxes play some part, BUT "I believe the real reason companies are going overseas is the tax breaks and low cost of labor that going overseas brings."

Cole, if you listen to Pfotenhauer's argument, Ireland charges 1/10th the U.S. tax rate, ergo, wouldn't that make Ireland and industrial superpower?

Companies paying ZERO in taxes don't move to countries where they WILL pay taxes because our rate is too high, they go there because of cheap labor and "free trade" means they can import those goods into the U.S. as cheaply as if they were made here.

The tax rate may have something to do with why companies are moving overseas. I get that. I believe the real reason companies are going overseas is the tax breaks and low cost of labor that going overseas brings.
