Tax breaks have led to job outsourcing

Repeated tax breaks for the rich and large corporations over the past 12 years have resulted in outsourcing millions of new jobs in India and China.

That’s a fact that the GOP, led by Rep. Paul Ryan, wants you to forget while they insist on more tax cuts while they eliminate Medicare as we know it — an actual tax increase for retirees.

Let’s reverse this trend and ask the tea party Republicans to ask their supporters to show some real patriotism and pay for the wars they started, the troops and money we’ve given to NATO and the foreign aid to Pakistan.

And, finally, let’s establish an “infrastructure bank” with the extra revenue from the wealthy so we can keep pace with India and Communist China as we fuel their growth with our money.
