americans companies moving out of the u.s.

Hello TCampbell, Ahhhh, but the latest corporate news is that the out-of-control fuel costs have created a new impediment to U.S. businesses moving their manufacturing overseas (for cheap labor), AND still being able to capitalize on the U.S. love of consumerism! So, the corporate word is that it will be less expensive to keep their manufacturing capablities here -- if their primary sales market is the USA. As with most any aspect of the U.S. economy, the rising fuel costs create a double-edged sword, where the dull edge is much more palatable as the variables shift! The key is to render the USA as independent of foreign oil sources as possible, and render it tax/tariff unfriendly enough to import our own products back to us. This is not rocket science! If we elect our representative wisely, we can find the balance. Balance, or moderation was the very sage advise of one of America's greatest thinkers -- Mr. Benjamin Franklin. Now we need only effort ourselves toward the election of representatives who will carry out that sage wisdom!

I believe that businesses who operate abroad pay lower taxes than those that operate in the U.S. so, add that to cheap labor and you have a big incentive to move a business overseas. Personally, I think that any company who moves it's operation overseas should receive no breaks from this government.

There are number of things that need to be addressed here. 1) Cheap labors with the same quality in overseas 2) Conducive environment for business in overseas 3) Lower prices of materials 4) Conducive business regulations. 5) Lower business taxes

Because they want to earn more by paying less. Business man always look for profit, the higher the profit, the more happy they are.
