Yet more stirring of the pot:

I have a thought about our current budget issues. I have personally been the benefit of a work force reduction in two separate companies thanks to the outsourcing of my job to overseas. It seems to me that there is something morally wrong with a company that gets it's start in the US. Develops its products due to the innovation of American workers and then lays them off because the work is less expensive overseas. I am wondering about how we can rewrite provisions of the tax code to tax outsourced work to make it cost effective to keep our jobs where they belong. I know it has happened to me personally with Caremark in Rancho Cordova and Hewlett Packard here in Roseville. I also see on the news that AAA is planning on closing it's California call centers and allowing the tax revenue, as well as the wages to be earned in another state. If we made it cost effective to keep those jobs in California would it not go a long way to making our budget balanced? There has to be a way that we can do this.

I am on a roll today
