Absolutely, ART. In fact, on this issue, I couldn't agree more.
But, I don't think it's possible to generalize the facts brought up by the GOA and say that they are all an effect of globalization. I just dont think it's possible.
According to (granted, liberal) experts like Lori Wallach, while globalization in general, and NAFTA in particular, has created roughly 1000 net jobs in the U.S., they are mostly of the janitorial and lower-echelon serive nature.
Furthermore, I'm not sure what any of that has to do with the taxation of corporations. American nationals in other coutries often still pay American taxes; American companies outsourcing should still pay American taxes. This, to me, just makes sense.
And I'll make the dangerous assumption that this should make sense to conservative and liberal, alike. I don't think the current application of taxation is just or legal, I think it is deficient.
