Who are you kidding? No company will move their plants off shore _solely_ so they can do business with Wal-Mart. Besides, why is it Wal-Mart's fault? No company is forced to business with Wal-Mart.
Not sure how I feel about your idea about the surtax or eliminating a tax credit for companies that move plants off shore. My initial reaction was to agree, but after thinking about it for a while it seems more like a punishment for trying to do what is best for your company. To me, that would be like taxing UPS for choosing to use cheaper fuel to keep their expenses down. On Thu, Oct 7, 2010 at 10:24 AM, Larry C.
