How many cheap tools have you bought at HF or some other place? Just remember that those prices WILL go up if you increase taxes on them. Corporations don't pay tax. Their customers (you and me) do. Plus if Congress gets $100 in additional taxes don't think that $100 will "offset un-employed payments to workers here". It will go into the general fund and be like peeing on a house fire.
Sending production overseas is NOT always the first choice of companies. Many would rather have local factories as there are problems with overseas operations: time zone difference, communication problems due to language/culture, quality problems. But at some point, the difference in getting 1,000,000 parts made overseas at $1 vs $10 to get them made here in the US can't be ignored by company managers.
Their stockholders (you and me via our IRAs and 401ks) are not in the charity business. We want profits to make our portfolios grow. In fact, many of those on this forum are probably JD stockholders and have been smiling recently as the company has been doing well.
My point is that the problems of the US economy and loss of jobs to overseas operations is complex and not easily solved by the likes of tlak and his socialist cronies who happen to be in power now.

The engine on this tractor, a 1937 John Deere "B", had been stuck for 2 years before he gave it to me. This last spring (1999) I hauled the tractor to our 2 acre lot in St. Libory Nebraska where it joined my antique machinery collection, at that time a 1929 Caterpillar T
